Description Long overdue contest prize for

This is a lineart piece with an experiment in "texture scaling" on the dragon. Spyree requested their dragon character for this, and I saw the technique used on FA, so I decided to run with it. :3 The background is done with watercolor tools.

Nice scales! Drawn by hand? Very nice...I don't have the patience for drawing scales by hand anymore. XD" I always end up giving my dragons a sparkling, smooth, shading-texture-thing... XD" *fails*

Hrrr...I like the pose! Especially the arms and legs look great...

I usually do each scale by hand on my dragons, but this piece was done with more loose color. I still think individual scaling looks better, but I've only tried this loose technique once so I still need to practice on it. I just can't bring myself to do a smoother shading texture thing... XD

.....wow. o_o
This looks amazing, you really got his personality and design spot-on. I just LOVE the expressions on them both, he looks so content with just lying in the sun and the cat is just as smug and unimpressed by everything around her as a cat sitting on a dragon who will fry anyone trying to hurt her can be. XD The scales and every detail looks wonderful, and you really got the depth in the image&pose work, it does look almost 3D. And I just canΒ΄t get over how cute they look... I love this, thank you so much!! This piece is one of the best arts of them that I have ever got. <3 <3

Oh thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it. I botched up some shadows on his body but I really am proud of it. It was fun to do and I'm glad my experiment paid off.

I like it, it shows the scales, but doesn't emphasize them too much.
