| Rob Abbott | Final Scene | | Dragon falls |

Inspiration/Story
A dragon rests next to a roaring waterfall while another circles overhead. A turtle looks on and all is at peace in this world.
I desired to do something fairly tough but not hominoid so I set out to make a dragon and a waterfall. Waterfalls and dragons just work well together. Both are powerful yet captivatingly beautiful.

Problems and Solutions:
I have 3 volumetric lights in this scene. Two for the fog/splash at the base of the waterfall and the other creates the clouds.
The waterfall is mostly just a bump map with coloring.
To make the trees I wrote a program to make them-it should be available in the tutorials section for anyone who wants it.
I can't really think of anything else that is overly complicated.
