It's been ages since my last dragon... so time for another!
I have never thought dragons to be evil. They are fierce, dominant, brutal creatures, but not evil. To me they are nature's wrath made manifest, protectors of that which is pure, guardians of the untouched and sacred.
So here is my latest take on our scaled winged favourites, hope you like him!

This looks fantastic!
I gotta say, this is probably my favorite of your work so far!
The detail in this is absolutely fantastic!
It looks like it could be used in one of those fantasy card games!
Watching the speedpaint was awesome as well,
seeing the different techniques you used to get specific details just right!
Simply amazing!

haha, thank you! Was a piece that somehow just came together. Literally woke up one morning and was like, "I want to paint a dragon" and the rest is history

You're really good at dragon making. I wish I had that level of skill, but I'm always busy. I'm still in school, and I'm also learning piano and English (I'm Russian) outside of school. I think my grammar was correct, I used a lot of translator to make this comment.
John-Stone-ArtProfessional Digital Artist
Well I wish you all the best in your studies. Good luck, keep up the hard work, it will always take you to good things
Enderstorm3950Student General Artist
Thanks
So... what would the dragon consider as a reason to attack someone in the forest?
John-Stone-ArtProfessional Digital Artist
chopping down trees is a big no no I would say
Well yeah, but what if I was just walking around out there?
John-Stone-ArtProfessional Digital Artist
lol... I'd say you're all good 
Hooray!
