I have taken more photographs of clouds than I have collected Predator comic books, and that's really saying something. I scanned all of the cloud photos into my computer and I've begun to manipulate them in most devious ways.

I just used the Liquefy tool here, then did some airbrushing to bring out the details. It's funny: The first thing that came to mind while I was working on this was Wonder Woman's invisible jet...

I knew it. There are dragons, we just can't se them. And you just happaned to catch one on your cloud picture. Wonderful.
Um, what did you edit on the picture?The original photograph is of a sky with clouds. I sort of sculpted the dragon into the picture just by pushing the cloud and sky pixels around. Then I airbrushed in some more color and I added a few highlights. That's all I did.

Wow this is cool. Funny thing about "invisible" anything in the comics and movies; they’re never really invisible, are they? All you have to do is look for the distortion. Sometimes I wonder why nobody ever figured that out (in the movies, I mean). Awesome job with the dragon, anyway.

12 Rachael Mayo replies: "LOL - Thanks! --Yeah, you brought up a good point. Most of the time the person watching the movie sees *something* while the actors try to pretend that they see nothing. Then again, when the movies and comics truly show the invisibility as *nothing*, it’s sometimes difficult to follow the action. "

I love this! The eye of the dragon really stands out, it needs the caption ’There always watching’ : ) That would be really cool if Wonder Woman had an invisible dragon : D
