Description Not the most imaginative title, to be sure, but it's simple and to the point. He is, after all, a blue dragon in human form. Seeing as all dragons are masterful shape changers, it's no surprise that he would blend traits from both forms.

Blue dragons are very flamboyant, and need to be seen. They are one of the more sensual clans, and they tend to be enamored with trinkets and fashion and anything they can use to show themselves off. Like all dragons, they are fighters, and are proud of their scars.

I spent way longer on this than I ever meant too. I just couldn't find myself wanting to work for more than an hour or two (except in the last couple of days), and so this kept dragging out and out and out. But because I would only spend a little time on it during any sitting, I tired to make myself really focus on details and on lines, trying to make it all work out. I rather like how it turned out.

This isn't as tight as your usual work, it has more of a content oriented, impression work. If it were traditional I'd say it was done with broad, quick brushstrokes. It seems that you are exploring lately, and I like that. What I think really works here and strikes me is the warms on one side and the cools on the other. Very striking.

Thanks. I don't even know what I was going for here. He really just kept goading me along, and I just kept going until it was finished. Kind of mindless, really, except wanting to do some harder lines than I normally go with.

Thank you. I feel such a kinship with dragons, and so they're fun to do.

This is easily your best work to date. I don't even have anything to add to improve it. The lighting is perfect, the texture is wonderful - everything. I'm very envious.
