IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        It's just your typical Wizard steals dragon eggs, Dragon comes
after Wizard, Wizard tries to escape before he gets fried story.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        This picture took quite a while to tweek, but the basic idea
came about pretty quick.  Actually, the eggs and the dragon were added
fairly late in the project, but the theme was similar throughout the
process.  Before the theme was announced this time, I had been messing
around with the method for creating the trees in the scene.  So, of
course, the scene had to be outdoors to take advantage!
        The trees and bushes are put together, on-the-fly, using blobs
and spheres.  Each tree is unique, due to random rotation of part of the
canopy.  The tree.inc file should be pretty much self explanitory.  The
bushes followed the same basic idea, just lower to the ground!  <grin>
        Everything else is pretty straight forward.  I'd like to thank
Chris Colefax for his aid in creating the sparkles.  And of course the
wonderful height field program HFLab was used to create the cliff wall
and the distant mountain.
