Description Made for #color-me-club 's February Book/Year of the Dragon Coloring Contest [link] using lineart by *rachaelm5 .

Originally going to be a lava dragon, but due to colors not being distinguishable enough from each other it turned into a metallic and flame dragon. Personally I love how the metal sleeves on the book turned out.

Original Lineart: [link]
Time Taken: ~16 hours
Program: Photoshop Elements 8.0
Colors: ~Elephantfreak

Cannot go wrong with fire colors, they always look great & you did a great job contrasting it with all the touches of gold.

That is awesome! I love the effect of the bronzy-gold against red. The flame colors of the fuzzy bits are also gorgeous. This is a beautifully color-coordinated piece. Best of luck to you!
