This is a submission to the contest from the group .
Theme: Oriental Dragon

Everyone knows the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, but few know about the fifth element. Void. The element that fills the universe, the element of the spirit, creativity and pure energy. This is the dragon that collected the orbs of all the elements, and carries them with him wherever he goes. In his four hands he carries the four that form the earth, the final, however, is carried in an entirely different way.

As always, I used my trusty coloured pencils. I also used a black copic marker for the thicker black lines and a black fineliner for the thinner black lines (I even used the black fineliner to shade, hoping to give it, just a tiny little bit, the effect of sumi-e). For the mountain, I used a bit of charcoal and I made the majority of the light effects using an eraser (I used a tiny bit of white gel pen, but it's nearly nothing, really. I'd be surprised if anyone noticed).

It was really hard to decide how I would make this. My own, semi-realistic style or the typical asian style? It ended up becoming a bit of a mix, with the majority being semi-realistic.
