This started off as "hmm. I want to draw scales" and as you can see got progressively more detailed as I got into it. Because I didn't really intend to make a finished picture out of this (in fact the file name is "the dragon I will never finish") there are lots and lots of anatomy and lineart mistakes that you should all ignore (like the back legs o.x) because by the time this turned into something nice <strike>I was too lazy to change it</strike> it was too late.
Also when I started this it was bright red :0 And I meant it to be a much more violent picture. I screwed with the colors a lot and liked this much better.
You know what's just OODLES of fun? Clouds. I don't think I've ever really drawn detailed clouds like this before and it's so much fun 8D
(oh by the way, the license thing... I figured I might as well.. you're free to use this for things if you so desire, as long as you tell me and give credit to me)
wat. this is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing oh man oh man

this is incredible! the scales and the wings and the clouds and the moon are all so beautifully done, and the colour scheme is great. and it looks pretty much like a finished piece to me...

A promise in the darkness,
Kept forever from the heartless
Locked away from those you see
Only found by the one with a key
Together at last
Don't dwell in the past
Don't let life pass you by
When all you need is the sky
* A * godsh! That background is to die for! The clouds look like they could just come out of the image, or you could just sit on them! Excellent job on the moon and all of the details on the dragon! An overall, very impressive art piece <3

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
I am so loving that back foot 8|
