442. Ogopogo on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
I still have not been able to acheive the level of detail that I have seen in so many digital paintings lately, but I am happy with the general feel and shading of this piece. I chose to name this entry for the 700 Dragons group after Ogopogo. Ogopogo is the name given to a lake monster reported to live in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada. According to Wikipedia, "The first documented sightings of the Ogopogo by European settlers date back as far as 1860 and occur as the area was being colonized by the first, though the first clear sighting, witnessed by a large group of people, occurred in 1926 at an Okanagan Mission Beach. There were about thirty cars of people who all claimed to have witnessed the same event. It was also in this year that Bobby Carter, then editor of the Vancouver Sun, wrote, 'Too many reputable people have seen [the monster] to ignore the seriousness of actual facts.'"
