Description Yay! It's finally finished! After 3... or was if 4... days of working on this bad boy, I finished him. First off, don't ask 'bout the title, lol; the scales on his face reminded me of obsidian so... Anyways, this piccy was inspired by meh buddy and awesome artist, *kalamu . I was looking through her gallery, thinking "Dag nabit! If only I could digitally paint like Lemur. Lord, just let me make one nice digital pic." When suddenly... whammo! I accidently started this dude... and it progressed to what you see now. I'm really quite proud of this pic, and look! I even put the Milky Way in the sky! ^^ Oh, and thanks Lemur for being so flippin awesome! Cause if I hadn't of looked through your stuff and at the way you paint, I'd be like... trapped in like... a bad... thing. ? ... yeah. lol.

EDIT: OMG! I just realized something! Cross your eyes just a wee bit; just enought to make things out of focus. Not only does it make the dragon really rawrish, but it gives the stars a really cool effect! It makes 'em look as if they're rotating slightly, just as if you were staring at real stars outside. *explodes with excitement at this discovery* Of course... this only works in full view. lol.

EDIT OF THE EDIT: HOLY CARP!!! Guess what! This got me a Mod's Choice on Elfwood! That's like, a first! sorry, had to get that out of meh system.

chalky pastels may be messy but they sure are fun to color with.
