Description
We did Tiamat last week, and another dragon this time. It's dragon month, baby!

As usual, the name should be "Qing Long", but you guys get it by now.
With this the Four Symbols set is complete! If you haven't already, you can
check Byakko, Suzaku and Genbu right here:
[Byakko] /[Suzaku] /[Genbu]

---Seiryuu, Azure Dragon of the East------------------------------------------------------
One of the four celestial creatures of the Chinese constellations, alongside the
White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird and the Black Turtle, known collectively as the
Four Symbols, or the Sì Xiàng, all four governed by the powerful Yellow Dragon.
The Azure Dragon (known in Chinese as Qinglong, Seiryuu in Japanese and
Cheong-ryong in Korean) represents the direction of East, the element of Wood
and the season of spring. Seiryuu is the noblest of the Four Symbols, and
represents the earthly forces of the Wufang Shangdi, the five main gods in
the common Chinese religion. In Japan some of his characteristics merged with
that of other dragon gods, such as Ryujin, adding details to his legends such as
owning a magnificent palace under the sea and having strong relations to water
and the ocean in general.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seiryuu is pretty famous, but its description is pretty basic: He's a blue chinese dragon.
That's it. There's almost no interesting stories surrounding him to take into consideration
for his design, so after a week breaking my head to think of some original way to portray
him I gave up and just drew the best chinese dragon I could... There's no point in fixing
what isn't broken, I guess...

He's the spring dragon, and his element is wood, two things that definitely don't immediately
come to my head when I think about dragons, so I made his horns as blossoming trees.
He certainly is more festive I guess.

Otherwise, the same patterns and symbols from the other Four Symbols are present here
as well, such as the halo containing the symbols of his celestial mansions, an orb with his
ruling cardinal direction inscribed on it... There's no point explaining that all over again.

And now, only their master remains... The great yellow dragon Kohryu can finally descend
upon us in the near future MWAHAHAHAHAHA....... I still have no idea what to do with him though...

Well, that's it. Hope you all liked it, tell me what you think of Seiryuu in the comments and see you all next time!
