Description I was the first,
the first one to exist.
I will be the last,
the final one to perish.
For I am all,
all that once was,
all that is,
all that will be.
For I am...
Time.

Finally it is done, my work closely related to my old work Eternity, one I personally still see as one of my favourites of all time, regardless of how old it gets. I still see it as some kind of milestone.

This work was not only inspired by my strange love for time and everything related to it, it was also inspired by my dragon clock (on the wall of my bedroom, right above this laptop. I love that clock so much).

First time I used white gel pens! Okay, you can clearly see it was my first time using them, but they did give some cool effects, in my opinion.

The wheels of time bind us all. We have a finite amount of time to create and co-create, yet we have the ability to exist outside the confines of our chosen time (if we seal ourselves in the work we leave behind). Each work of an artist binds a piece of the artist to itself, and has the potential to travel into eternity. The challenge of the artist is to create works that speak to the human soul, so that the artist can live on in the minds and hearts of those who are touched by the art.

This artwork tells me (as I've always believed) that I'm not the creator/sustainer of time, but I do have the potential to defy time, and live on into eternity.

The wheels of time will never stop. How will you impress yourself upon the wheels of time?
This wonderful comment by *artsoldier77 is something I'd like to share with everyone.

I hope you love this piece as much as I do!

Yes, absolutely! 
In fact, I plan to do another time-dragon related piece, however, I have no idea when. Might take a while.

I'm currently working on something that has gears as well. It may seem similar in some ways, but you'll see~ (and so will I. I haven't decided on the background yet)

This is beautiful and so detailed and well-thought through. You must have worked really hard at this. The lighting and the composition is simply incredible. Also, I like the selection of colors. Good work.

Foxofwonders In reply to AwesomePonyTail [2014-01-05 20:13:15 +0000 UTC]

I certainly have, but hard working is fun on personal drawings.

Thank you very much for your amazing compliment, especially about the composition, since I don't have a clear idea what a good composition should look like, therefore I just draw what feels best. Glad you like it!

True that. 

Hehe. You're very welcome. I find the most creative drawings are the ones that the artist had fun making.
