Description
This is a SURPRISE Patreon reward/makeup for my recent absence, for cricetorocker ! This is Gerah, an Asian dragon that represents peace and balance. So of course... this was the go-to pose for peace and balance in my mind!So.... I have 4 of these to do for my Patrons. I was going to wait until all 4 were done to post them, but since I'm half there, I figured I would upload them so y'all don't think I'm totally dead.
This was again another experiment with color and painting techniques. I was going for a warm golden light coming from the right, and a cooler bounce-lighting on the left. I could tell you all the things I DON'T like about this lighting I chose........ but I would rather hear what I could do to improve it!! Critiques very much welcome here
I very much enjoyed painting this, it was the highlight of my day for over a week now! I'm fairly happy with it, always room for improvement you know!
Anyway, a huge shout out to cricetorocker for being a wonderful friend as well as supporting me through Patreon!! Thank you so much for everything you do <3

OH WOW!! This is SO gorgeous!!! That background is just... so beautiful and aweseome. I adore the colors you used, and Gerah's pose and all the details on him, he looks so fluffy soft! And I really love how you did his horns, they look great! I always have such a hard time with horns, haha.
I really really love this, thank you so much

I'm so glad you like it!! I had a real blast painting this, I couldn't stop at times :'D (Even my housemates would come up from time to time and be like "Ohhhh it's so prettttyyy" xD)
I hope I drew him alright, markings n' colors n' stuff
Horns are hard, lmao.. and I tried to make them look really golden, that was even harder xD
ANYWAYS I'm super thrilled that you like it, it's always the most rewarding part!
