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 And I hope you like it (in a better quality, than what you saw on facebook xD).

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

It looks much better en high quality. It most have taken really long time to paint all the details. It's so awesome

I like to edit stuff so I have done some editing for fun where I have made the highlights more visible (your version is perfect I just like to do that kind of stuff) I can upload it somewhere if you wanna see it

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
