Description
During the wet and windy falls, the Ghirannon dragons lay their eggs inside pink roses. When the winter comes, the flowers close up, keeping the eggs safe from the cold.
At the dawn of spring, the flowers open to reveal the hatchlings, who get to gaze upon the sun for the first time.
So this is the reason for my scarce posts lately x) It surely took some time to finish; time mostly taken from lunch breaks and after works, since I both work full time and study.
I attempted more realistic colouring this time, mixing the rose's colour into the dragon, and the green leaves' colour into the rose. Also, the blending is a lot smoother than I've done lately, but I like the result so I think I'll continue down this path.
The picture started out as a flower study, because I realized I hadn't ever made a serious attempt at painting flowers. I had just added them like small details in my pictures before. I put in the dragon to make myself more motivated, and it kinda snowballed from there.
Time: about 25 hours?
References: Pictures of pink roses in general, crocodiles and lizards, and dew drops.
Inspiration: "Dragonfly" by enayla
Textures: none
Tutorials: wiki.polycount.com/w/images/8/… and www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/08/p…
