Description
I'm having a hard time believing this is done. A personal full colour piece (the first in a long while) which served as a practise on many things and turned out decent at that, with the help of many wonderful people both from DA and ConceptArt.I've had these questions a lot in it's progress while I was streaming, so I'll answer them to avoid having to answer them again in comments; every scale on the dragon as well as every strand of grass was hand drawn. I did not use any custom brushes, the standard hard-edge brush was used for the entire piece, with a few strokes of a soft edge brush here and there. Textures were used only for the rocks, and one for the base of the grass which I painted over so much that it was practically of no use xD.
I'd like to thank everyone that watched me work on this on LiveStream for their support and interest, and just for the fun :3. As well as those who read the entire description ;D.

Thanks a lot ^^. And yeah, if I had to re-do this image I would probably not draw it all by hand, at least not the same way haha! This took me way too long, but the end result is still a much-liked one

Wow.
The only thing I can see that might not be perfect, is the horn on the nose. It seems a bit as if it's not really connected to the face, somehow. (I don't think I'm explaining it very well, sorry about that...) I'm not sure how you could fix it, maybe it has to do with how the horns are positioned?
I envy your ability to draw rocks, by the way xD

I ADORE your scales, I always have so much trouble "painting" on digital artworks cause I need lines to direct me. Yet when I paint in traditional I have no probleme.
This came out really really well! It shows plenty attention to detail, and the clouds hurt my eyes ;.;
