Ok, so I utterly love Chinese Dragons, they're so under luffed these days. So when ^pinguino asked me to take part in a charity book of dragon illustrations for a fellow artist who is battling cancer, I had just the image in mind.

Inked by hand with badly dying micron pens, cleaned up and colored in Photoshop. Far too much fun... especially with the background. It was a great time trying to merge a more realistic background with a highly stylized dragon and cloud set.

...I like his face. He's like "Rrrrar! I may be breathing a rainbow but I could still bite your head off!" I really wanted to do a water theme because dragons are almost always associated with fire, but in Chinese myth they often bring rain. Cool, neh?

I'll be selling a one-time signed print of this at Cape for the fund raiser, and will have the dragon book for sale as well. If you're good at drawing dragons and are willing to donate an illustration to help a fellow artist, please contact ^pinguino !
