Hi everybody,
I'm new at Xara, and just want to say that I am in awe of all your art posted here. Here is a picture that I've been working on. It's not perfect, and could use some tweaking, but just wanted your opinions on it. Thanks for taking the time for a newbie!

Hello Sandra
And welcome. Your picture is very nice. Maybe a little dark , but maybe you inteded it that way.

Sandra, I really like this!

I love dragons, and I particularly enjoy Celtic knotwork.

Have you seen the artwork posted here by GeoBen?

He does a wonderful amount of Celtic inspired artwork.

like the snake skin fill
keep at it
well done

EDit: that should of course be scaled not snake oops - freudian slip me thinks

nice work, mostly.

you left out a few Xover lines, but a small thing. I think that the two motifs could be better integrated, either by making the dragon grow out of the knot or complete the knot and twine the dragon into it.

i just might steal the idea.

Thanks everyone for the input! And yes, you're right, I was having a lot of trouble with entertwining the lines and I've been working on that. Also, I too think its a bit dark. When I get done with it, I'll post it again and see what you guys think. Thanks again...your opinions mean alot!
