This is the Dog Dragon from "Dragons of the Twilight Dream".

This is still a work in progress; I will partially cut out the dragon later and add a background and 3D embellishments.

From the Dragons of the Twilight Dream I am taking each individual dragon and giving it a feature of its own. The Twilight piece featured six dragons, based on the Chinese Zodiac, in cool-temperature colors. The dog was violet.

I've found, though, that when I give the dragons a feature illustration of their own, I tend to deviate from the original color scheme. This dragon needed some oranges and pinks, as well as some blues. This helped to differentiate the body parts quite a bit better than my original monochromatic scheme did!

I made this with watercolor and Prismacolor pencils over a ink drawing.
