Wow. o.o I did a decent background for once.

This is a commission for my cousin of a scene from 'Merlin" of merlin and the great dragon.

This turned out a lot better than i expected, its probably because i used a lot of references. Fans of the show 'Merlin' might recognise this scene. I've never watched the show myself.

I've never actually seriously attempted to draw a european style dragon, I favour the chinese dragon style (cause its so floofeh). So i'm glad this turned out alright ^__^ The wings took forever to get to look right, after some research though i got it. They're not perfect, but close enough.

The references of the dragon were a bit difficult to use, as almost always the back of the dragon either isnt shown or in the shadows, so i had to improvise a bit.

But yeah, i'm really really proud of this!

I hope you like it matthew! 83

What kind of colored pencils do you use?

Hmm, I've never heard of "Merlin and the Dragon", is it some kind of show that somewhat pertains to King Arthur?
