This illustration was create for the "Dragons" contest and it took the first place in the digital category.  I don't know latin but I hope that the meaning of the title is close to "Tree Dragon (Small)"

Accidental speedpainting. Well... maybe not so accidental after all. Of course I intended to draw something at the first place, I turned on my PC, sat down in the chair, took my stylus and run Photoshop... and then I came up with this one :)

Atlantis, as it is well known, were intelligent, but scatterbrained breed, who greatly contributed to the flooding of their island. Well, once upon the time, during a beautiful day (it's obvious that the weather on Atlantis was fine all the time, even during the rain, isn't it? ) That day Mrs. H. Atlantis-Atlantis went to her best friend to talk about some rumors about her cousin. She forgot to close a water in few taps in her villa (approximately thirty-one taps, 29 with cold and 2 with boiling water).

Within an hour island sank completely. 

Is that the end? Noooonononno! . Resourceful and wise Atlantis decided not to expose themselves once more for the same cataclysm, and they built a new civilization, this time tap-less, on the ruins of the old one. They did it without surfacing the island, according to the rule: "What's submerged should stay like that, period." . Picture committed for "Environment of the Week" battle (conceptart.org) Thanks for all the fruits, and please don't tell me, that I'm talking a load of codswallop, and if I do it's only because fruit were a bit fermented ;)

City Council politely appeals and reminds about the compulsory segregation of mortified dreams. Sport's dreams, including ones about being a handsome striker from the Real Madrid, please dump in the back alley on the corner of Seventeenth Avenue and Sixth Street. In case of daydreams, please cram them in the dark alley next to the DreamInn hotel. The biggest alley of the city is designed for dumping sexual fantasies (including the one about getting laid with one of the celebrities listed in our free guide "How ecologically and almost completely anonymously bury your dreams in the down-town of the city") At the same time we ask to bury dreams (destroyed because of the fear of pursuit them) individually in one's gardens (concerns the residents of the suburbs). Don't forget to pin them down with the mid-sized stone or paving 10x10 inches plate. (concern the city center residents) Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely ... (Signature illegible)
