Description For contest - [link] idea was to interprete one of the songs offered with a dragon-themed artwork.

While the theme is fantasy, the situation is real enough.
Sometimes we need someone to be near us when those we trusted fail us.

"Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life"

Awwwwww. I want to have a dragon friend to keep me warm, too. This is touching.
I like the combination of blue and brown. And the salt - always! haha! I love the magical texture it adds.

The emotive context is very clear - and very kind - in this piece. And I do like the color choices on the dragon very much... Like water and autumn together.

The use of color here is phenomenal, but this is certainly a strong part in all of your works. I love the dragon's face, and the salt texture is added in all the right places. The detail of the cracks is very realistic and beautiful.

One of my favorite works by you!

Thank you! Mind if i ask, how did you see it? Cause it wasnt accepted to the group and the group seems a bit dead.

Well I saw the title And knew it was for the song, when I looked at it it was confirmed. But I found it from one of the others groups you added it too. I believe was the group I saw it added too. I hope they add this one though, It is one of the best (and actually to the song) Pieces I have seen yet! 10/10!
