Ok, now we're getting somewhere! This attempt took me about 30-45 minutes, and the birds are from the same brush used in the prior two attempts. I wanted this one to have a cold look, so I gave the dragon blue eyes.
This little guy was my second attempt for the day, and his wings are made from the same brush used to create the palm fronds. Spacing adjusted, of course.
This was created with custom brushes I made in Photoshop. If you can believe it, the palm fronds aren't actually made with a brush even resembling leaves!
