Description
This picture has been lying on my table half-done for months, but finally today I got it finished. Yay!

Once again characters of my 'lower dragon' pack. These two are cousins, Shade (originally Moonshade, spotted male on the right) and his 'blind-dog' Aurum. Yes, you can see right, I didn't forget anything and there certainly is nothing wrong with Shade's eyes; he doesn't have any eyes. There aren't even holes for eyeballs, and no eyelids, there is just two flat places on his skull where his eyes should be, and his hairy skin covers them completely. Aurum works as his eyes, leading him. He holds the blue silk ribbon that is tied around her left arm, and there won't be a chance for him to not knowing what's in front of them. Aurum never really shuts up, so if there is some obstacles ahead he will know about it soon enough. Annoying, yes, but it works.

And if there ever is need for Shade to spit fire (which, by the way, is transparent and the second hottest of all of his pack's members. Only Fulgor can make more burning fire) he can see through Aurum's eyes. He himself has never had eyes, so he doesn't actually see at all even when using her eyes (that has something to do with the seeing section of brains), but he can aim when he borrows her eyes. Of course, she has to be near him in that case.

And about background. Yes, it has such. Wow.. The background was the reason why this kept just bothering me on my table, but when I today finally got the inspiration, I spent hours in it. I counted that I used eight different colors on the grass, Brown ocre, Golden brown and six different greens. I still wonder where did I get all that patience. And there is a sky! First colored completely with Spectrum blue, then erased the places for clouds and shaded with Ultramarine blue. Well, I don't know how realistic it looks, but not bad for beginner, neh? No, I haven't drawn clouds much before. And once again big thanks to my Photoshop. My blue-blind scanner didn't see that sky almost at all, but I could save it with PS. I've got it for over one and half years, and now I'm finding out how to use it.. Well, better late than never.

(And I made it too bright, didn't I?)

EDIT: Played with Photoshop again, so the sky isn't so bright anymore.
