So while sketching around tonight, I came up with this:
I’m still not that happy with the hands, especially the right one- I decided at the last minute to have it up, and I feel like it shows. In fact, at first, the dragon was not going to have any forelimbs at all, just the wings and maybe a long tail wrapped around an outcrop or something, but then I felt it lacked something (limbs, obviously).
Artist’s Note: While working on this, I found myself thinking about The Dragon deck, my Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck I play(ed) in EDH which has been in retirement for awhile as I try to figure out how to make it better, and the third-person threats and ultimatums I would often make while piloting that deck, which I think led to the raised claw and threatening demeanor. The chin beard just happened.
