Description ...capture a Lord of Shadows.

Or probably more accurately, how to piss off Dragon...

Meep! Dragon is so going to come and kill me in my sleep for this picture.

Anyways, had this image in my head for a long time. When the Collective captured Dragon they did their homework, Avian's won't deliberately damage their wings and by fixing a metal plate over Dragon's telekinetic eye he can't use it.

Yeah, I've just been so tired I haven't been able to draw, the sketch didn't go well at all so I ended up scanning in the half doodled sketch and finish it by colouring into the computer. But i think the totally pissed off-ness that I was experiencing from not eing able to draw this shines through...

Meh, this picture still isn't great but as Dragon has to be my top favorite character I should do more art of him! XD

Pissing off Dragon doesn't sounds like good idea XD
He's about to kill us with just one look.
Fantastic, I love his tatoos [?] and his hair. The wings looks really powerful

HEHEH i see what you mean about the kill you look.

Though of course my brain gave me the inappropriate comment of 'of course he is pissed off, so would you be if you had a black buttock!'

Awesome and amazing picture, Astro! And poor Dragon, he looks so pissed about the fact that he's been caught XD But I really love his expression and you did an amazing job on his wings!!!
Also like that the picture is colored in blacks and greys and that only Dragon's eye is colored, because this is such a great contrast and turned out very great! Me likes it
And those chains are so perfectly drawn and colored! Really amazing job!!!

This is sooo wicked cool! Love his posture, looks tense, angry and ready to spring into action.
The wings are also a million times better than what I could ever do.
