Description Woo, it's my half of an art trade with ~Neio6 !

It's her awesome dragon, Neio. Her description stated that she had pearly white fine scales, so I tried to make her look slightly opalescent. The background is my attempt at a sunset cloudscape.

Sorry you had to wait so long for this, Neio! I hope you like it.

I really like the light here and the shadows, especially under the wings. The wrinkles and folds in them give them such a realistic appearance. I have a lot of trouble pulling off wings like that but you have mastered the technique I think. I rather like the nose and the nostrils and the smile she has. The pearly scales are lovely too and seem to fit in with the stars in the background. Also, your choice of background colours with the orangish cream clouds and the powdery night sky go very well together.

I'm not entirely satisfied with the wings, but I'm glad you like them! I was having problems visualizing the placement of the wing phalanges, but meh, it works in the end. Heheh! I probably took the most time with her face, and it kind of shows. Woo, glad you like the background!

Thank you! I love Neio's colors, so I thought a pastel-y color scheme would look good

Oh WOW! This is gorgeous! The scale detail, while subtle, is very dynamic and gives a great texture!

Hehehe!

But I listened to Mikado while drawing, does that count for something?
