Agh, you sure are! I find myself trying to duck away from that first one.
Aaaaarrrgh, it's coming right at me! (Well, it doesn't - it's coming right at THEM - phew!)
Wonderful, alive, and dynamic images, Gecko! |

| Oh, my goodness, that second one looks like it's almost coming out of the page! The varying softness and those amzingly innocent eyes always following you made me think I was still wearing my 3-D glasses. Top notch work! |

looks very nice gecko, I like the way you've used focal effects on these.
*what happened to your devotion to human anatomy ?

I really love you use of color =)
I would change something in the first pic: the eye of the dragon. It doesn't seem he's looking at the guys he's going to attack, and maybe it could be looking in a more agressive way, less opened the eye.
The second one is simply great, love the focal effect and colors =) |

What everybody else said about the focal effect (really like that) and:
Wow!
[Edit: One thing about the first pic. The people don't seem to be impressed that a huge dragon wants to have them as an appetizer. They don't duck away or anything. This only came to me after looking at it for quite a while so it's not really that bothering...]

I never thought of this before, but painting "depth" like our eyes would see it can really work effectively. Don't have much to say about this, really. Need to experiment more
I guess the people know not to duck as they're pretty used to being hunted by giant dragons :P
joachim... i refuse to give up! Playing with these effects has been really beneficial lately so this is where my time has gone. |

Oh, fantastic!!
The focal effect... that seems to be when I am watching things with concentration...
That effect attracts me and takes my mind into your pictures' world... Also I love the dynamic compositions, your brushes' touches and your colors... |
