Brianhjh requested me to draw an Oriental dragon. Now, I'm no fan of the Eastern style dragon physiology -- too long and coily, legs too short (or outright "misplaced"), and so on -- but I agreed to it, so here it is.
And I didn't skimp on the details, either.
Neither time nor disinterest, nor my scanner nearly ripping through the paper less than halfway through it (seriously) stopped me. A torn sheet of paper isn't exactly a dream to work with, but I worked through it after taping up the rip (from the backside, of course). Much thanks to GIMP's tools, I wouldn't have been able to clean up the damage without it.
Nothing special to say about this dragon though. As much as I don't like Orientals, he nonetheless was quite fun to create!
Media: Colored and ebony pencil (plus minor computer edits)
Time spent: Five hours (plus two hours on computer)
Size: 75px/in at full view.
PS: If you have a request you'd like me to draw... well... don't call me, I'll call you.
