Description
Roughly 14 hours or so used to color this oneMostly because whenever I thought I was done, I'd add something else to it.
FULL VIEW IT C:
Personally I like the background I came up with, seems to suit the picture, and just so people know...I didn't draw this beautiful dragon, ~akeyla is the original artist, I just colored it cause I love coloring.
My favorite part is...maybe the storm in the back right. Or the detail I put intil the scales...Maybe its the fact that the desert is growing, taking over? The dragon, in my view, may be desert-oriented cause of his color, but I see him between the desert and any forest, as he has the better chance of finding food and water....my imagination overwhelms me. Agree?
I used Photoshop, CS2 and I used my tablet (as always).
Upwind Lines (c) ~akeyla see here [link]
Color and most background idea is (c)ish to me

It's really great work. I just think you did a really good job on the coloring and textures and a lot of detail in it, it's one of those pictures that really pulls you in and makes you wanna stare at it for a long time.
