Here it is: Flying Dragon
A tribute to dragons, adventure, and flying!

I finished this just before my first gallery exhibition with the theme "Fantastik" (fantasy), where this painting had its premiere showing as a canvas print. The art show was a lot of fun, and I'm so happy my fellow nerds appreciate my art ❤️ Here's to dragons! 🔥

Digital painting made in Krita.

PS It works great as a phone screen, feel free to download for personal use!

Also for those interested, I had some trouble getting the perspective on the wings right, so I built a paper dragon to help me draw the base.

@petrabrandstrom That's the way to do it! I mean if you can't have a pet dragon for reference this is the next best thing.
