Well, the English flag is the Flag of St. George:

but the Welsh flag has the dragon:

However, the parliament of the United Kingdom is in London,
England, not Cardiff, Wales, so you know who won :)

Thanks for your comments Joske. I had a lot of trouble with St. George's
tunic; it was originaly light brown so thought I'd paint it white in PSP but
it had no affect on the colour, in Poser, so I painted it light gray, then
made some other adjustments in the Poser material room. I'll keep trying to
see if I can make it less shiny. The flame of the Dragon was yours from the
torch you made me. I think you did a terrific job on it. As for the dust; I
think that's a good idea and will use that next time. I would have liked to
spend more time on the image by putting in some shadows. Maybe again next
time.

I liked the photo of St. George you posted. :-)

A very interesting image.

I'm inclined to ask "George, where's your trousers?" (to paraphrase
the song reputedly to a Scot.)

What model did you use for George and his outfit? I assume the
landscape and vegs were done in Vue?

That song was a hit here in Australia a long time ago "Donald where's your
trousers". I hope he's wearing his under pants. :-)

The "St. George" is Michael 3 from DAZ as is the Tunic he's wearing and the
Dragon. I was able to extract the UV map from the Tunic obj file using "UV
mapper" and paint it in PSP.

The landscape was done in Vue Espirit and unfortunately saved in JPEG
format. :-(

I bet Lori knows a thing or two about this, I can only guess.

As long as you are enjoying yourself. Did you know there is a PSP
Fire tube? It should be in your PSP 9 as well. It's got several
flames which could come in handy for any more dungeon or dragon
scenes.

Your George is a lot more fierce than our George :-)
