Description
So, some of you might remember that ~Bengalensis caught my kiriban, sometime in fall last year. Yeah I know.Anyway, I've worked on this for quite some time, and then actually managed to finish it for her birthday yesterday. Which was quite an achievement, might I add.
Anyway, this is the dragon Alduin from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. And if anyone isn't familiar with Skyrim, it's an 'action role-playing open world video game' to quote wikipedia, released in 2011, and it's awesome!
~Bengalensis requested a dragon, and since we both play the game, I thought well why the hell not.
I made most of the dragon on one layer, which I thought would be good practice (haha), and well it was, but it also made it insanely difficult to correct mistakes. And well, I could have worked a bit more on it, and I could have used more time on making the spikes more accurate, but I think it turned out alright actually ^^
It will definitely not be the last time I draw Alduin, because he's badass, seriously.
Anyway, once again happy birthday ~Bengalensis
EDIT - Made it a bit smaller, so you could see more of the dragon in the "enlarged" view. If you want a look at the details, hit the download button ;D
EDIT - ~Bengalensis freshened up the colours a bit ;D sta.sh/01iv0tkuipdm

Totally! I meant to work with the lights, but after having worked so much on it, I ended up quite liking the "grey" look it had ^^ But you can upload it to your sta.sh and send me a link ;D
