Description
Finally a prize for who won my Mini Contest!
Here is her contest entry:
The enormous pile of gold and jewels gleamed splendidly in the fading sunlight that streamed into the dragon's mountain cave. The dragon absentmindedly fingered a few of his precious trinkets, his lonely eyes staring off into the distance; what good was all this treasure if he had no one special to share it with?
The picture is based on the contest entry.
I hope you like my interpretation even if it isn’t perfectly pedantic.

Nice work! Is it okay to use your artwork on my website, theindiedragon.com? I will credit your name with the image and link to your Deviantart page.

Thank you! I am glad you asked and your page looks professional and well keeped.
However, this is a very old work of mine and I can now see lots of things where I could have done better so I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing this outside dA.
Thank you for understanding!

mitäh, miten mulla on sellanen muistikuva että olisin kommentoinu tähän.. muistan ku tuijotin tätä ties kuin kauan ja ihailin kaikkia värejä ja yksityiskohtia. no jaa, kommentoin sitte nyt. 
surullisen ja symppiksen näkönen lohari, käy sääliks.
ja en vaan osaa ymmärtää miten oot jaksanu piirtää ja värittää kaikki noi kolikot! meni varmaan aika kauan..?

Juu, kuten olen sanonut, ei tosiaankaan haittaa, vaikkei kommentit tulekaan samana päivänä kuin kuvan postaa. Enpä itsekään ehdi monesti kommentoida muiden kuvia kuin pitkällä viiveellä. 
Kiva kuulla, että lohikäärmeen apatia näkyy, se oli kuitenkin pääidea tässä kuvassa, vaikka nuo aarteet taitaa varastaa huomion aika tehokkaasti...
Ja täytyy myöntää, että kyllä tähän aikaa sai kulumaan reippaasti, mutta piirsin aina vähän kerrallaan, eli kokonaisaikaa en osaa arvioida.
Kiitos paljon kaikista ihanista kommenteista taas!

Oh my gosh. I love this one! 
First of all, the details in the treasure are astounding. You did a great job. The dragon's expression, the age lines across the face of a seemingly immortal creature-- it's beautiful, and I love how it plays against common folklore themes about dragons and their hoards.
The lighting and the colors are all great.

Oh geeze, PERFECT EMOTION CAPTURE. I would have to call this one of your BEST pictures to date. And it fits the story perfectly too.
We have a win here!

Now this is some really gorgeous peace of work!
I love the sunset in behind,and the dragons neck is just wonderfully bent, his design is so wonderful..he feel old but mighty. But the work on treasure and the skull and the skeleton's hand are really a great touch.^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much!
I am happy to hear that you like dragon's design; I tried to make him look old and depressed. I just had to add a skull and skeleton hand - if there was such a treasure somewhere I am sure there was also a brave (and suicidal) knight who would try to steal it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He sure does look depressed, not overly depressed ... Well I'm sure that the fairy tales were full of them, I've even heard of such thing in Brazil being somewhat of a legend that many men have tried to find the treasure of an ancient king but failed in attempt to bring it out...I never found out the reason why....I wonder is any of that true. But they do have some scary stuff down in Brazil...well if any of the stories are true.

I think either some part of stories are true but probably there are natural explanations for them. Or then they're just educational and teach kids that it is not worth being creedy!

Most of them are sadly just make believe.

The Dragon looks so unhappy : (

Oi kiitos paljon!
Yksityiskohdat tulla tupsahti aika helposti, kun piipersin niitä vain vähän aikaa kerrallaan. Kaks viikkohan tämän tekemiseen meni, mutta kokonaisaika ei varmaan aivan älytön kuitenkaan ole.
Kiva kuulla, että tunnelma on onnistunut! Siihen yritinkin panostaa. ^^

xD he's looking at the gold like he was a sad drunk and it were alcohol XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I love your interpretation!
Well, it is addiction in both cases: hoarding gold and treasures and being an alcoholic. So I can see similitaries too! ^^
