I do not recall all the details as I did it almost 10 year ago, but it is not so strange, since my painting was a lot inspired by an horizontal dargon painting done by Jeff Easley (one of the 1rst D&D painter, I do not have a link to the picture that inspired me but it is in this book [link] ), on which I tried to paint scales and background like Elmore, rock where taken into a tiger calendar published in France, but I do not recall the year of the calendar.
The painting you mentionned is based on a Todd Lockwood painting, that I discovered recently, who was himself inspired by Emore and Easley as he reimplace them (according to his artbook I purchased few year ago. Apart that Lockwood is a real genius with dragons, whilst mine has so many defaut (arm not anatomically correctly placed, neck is wrong as well, head is not at the good size, no deepness in the wing...so many mistakes done during my apprentichip with oils :

thanks a lot! In fact the clouds are softer, but due to the matte varnish applied - and due to my poor photoskills - the colors are not properly rendered in JPEG format :

I just looked at the cover, effectively there are likeness with the cover and the painting, apart that the dragon look maybe nicer in the book!

Not a perfect match, but still.
Gosh, you remind me of my old karate teacher. Probably because you teach martial arts too. ^^

Thanks, actually, the acriliyc underpaint and the oils painting took me around 8h. The hardest was the numerous sketch as I thought to the composition for some weeks and changed my mind many times. Once I am satisfied with the sketch everything goes quite fast

With me it's almost exactly the reverse. I usually know what I want, but it takes sooo damn long to draw it.
