Description I said I was going to color this, I finally have.
Here is a link to the line art if anyone else would like to color this their way. [link]

This is the first picture I have ever colored with a tablet, my first tablet too! A beautiful gift from a friend whom likes to be called Skathes. Thank you again buddy

Below is a little story about Shokudai, and this picture.

Shokudai is the most powerful being in existence, his power rivals that of all the Gods combined. The Heavens feared him so because if he ever desired, he could destroy everything in existence. His power was terrible because it was drawn from both the sources of light and shadow.

There was only one who did not fear him, the goddess Princess Aki. She had every reason to fear him, his power was far greater than hers, he held an unsurpassed hatred for the heavens, and he cared not for anything that stood in his way.

No one is sure how she had done it, some believe that it was because her source of power also sprang from shadow and light, others thought it her unsurpassed kindness and love, and many thought it her beauty. Whatever it was, she had somehow tamed the greatest of all demons, the lord of the grate eclipse. He had bound himself in a lesser form, to bottle up his own powers.

It had been learned later, that the grate demon had fallen in love with the Princess, and that she too, had fallen for him. New fear had been brought onto the gods, if they were to consummate their love, they would bring about an abomination to all creation, one possibly far stronger than its father.

The Gods set out to destroy Shokudai, his lesser form made him more vulnerable to destruction. But in an attempt to destroy him, Princess Aki was slain instead. Enraged by her death, Shokudai began to break all the seals binding him. In a desperate attempt to stop him, the gods set their own seals to return him to his weaker form. They were only successful in stopping Shokudai from returning to his true form mid way.

Now Shokudai is held in the highest of prisons in heaven, bound with spell and chain, with only a specter of Aki to keep him company. He waits the day when his love will be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation, and reunite with her.

The artwork here really caught my eye, great job with the shading and expressions. And detail! So much lining @.@ That is some time consuming work there :3

The background info on the image is interesting... do you happen to have a full story written based on it?

I have a working story, the problem is, I've never been able to complete it.

I've been trying to get over this by writing several smaller stories, the problem with those are, they are turning out to become full novels...

It's either, I don't know how to start or I don't know how to stop.

That's quite a tale indeed, but did you mean to say great instead of grate?

Wonderful story and nice drawing to accompany it.
It's kind of sad that Shokudai had lost his love because of the other gods. I really hope he and Aki reunite!

Shokudai does really look like a eastern dragon with a more humanoid body.
You have done well with his anatomy. His body is a perfect mix of a human upperbody and a reptilian lowerbody.
Also the scales are very beautiful. So many, it surely was much to do. It's pretty good. But what is with the orange spots? They does look like they are covered in a much finer type of scales. If there are scales.
His feets are very interesting. They have similarities with human feets, but also with that of an animal.
And of course, his ornaments are very stylish.

Also Aki is very beautiful. I can stil see her sad face very clear. Although her body is small, she is very detailed.

I have read the description again. It could be the fact, that English is not my mother tongue, but if I see right, the gods feared that Aki could give birth to a chreature, even more powerful than Shokudai, who was already more powerful then them.

Thank you very much!
The orange areas are just placed I felt didn't need scales, but where I still didn't know what to place.

The feet were not entirely my idea, I put this form of Shokudie together drawing from other artists.

I didn't like how I did Aki in the line drawing, so I went back and added more detail to her.

And yes, that is true, the gods feared a child they might have, because the child's power could overshadow it's father's. Shokudie is far more powerful than any single god, but of all the god's combined they still overpower him by a little. The child made for the possibility that nothing could truly stand in it's way.
