LOL - thanks.
I only regret that I didn't post the initial inkblot to show folks how I developed the idea.

I was going for a different kind of dragon design - well, different from the more anatomically accurate dragons that I ususally do. I think this works well in this instance and I also think I may play around with abstract effects a bit more with my dragon designs just to shake up my overall design sense.

It's definitely something different, but it was time to shake things up a bit. More are on the way. Much shaking is still to come.

I love making the colors dance - I've found through experimentation that blue-green/red-orange combination is one of the ones that seems to work the best. So I use it to death.

Thanks very much. I wanted to go with a lighting/coloring scheme that was more conjectural than actual, so that I could play around with the wacky colors.

This is ttally reminicent of when I first started watching you and you always had dragons and random beasts running around your gallery. XD
Ya still do.
This is just lovely though. The strong colors, the small mount of green that flows so well with the strong reds going throughout the picture and the orange outlines with the blueshading. Just all those small hints really help bring the dragon out. He has such a harsh evil look to his face as well, he seems so strong and so horrid. As in, horrid to be around. nice work. Sometimes the most random of things turns out to be awesome. x3

Thanks a bunch! What an awesome comment.
I plan to cut loose with more of the random beasties now that I have most of the requests out of the way. I have a whole wall full of crazy dragons and other critters whose drawings I'm eager to get underway.
