A small dragon, they said... by Kodalynx

A small dragon, they said...

Kodalynx

This incredible, epic piece is the result of countless hours of work by  akitary

It's a...book cover, nothing less, I am in awe of the scale of this! The detail, the lighting, everything about it is amazing.

As for Koda, he may have dealt with pesky crop-burning dragons in outlying villages as a very young warrior in training, but here, the lynx at least seems to have gotten some nice armor and gear and some finely crafted swords. It looks like he's facing a real challenge here, a massive, ancient dragon. Perhaps he was sent to face it, perhaps he sought it out for some reason.

And he's going to face it, showing no fear, only resolve. He's not sneaking up on it, he's challenging it.

And who knows? Perhaps he's not even seeking to slay it, but to convince it of something. Perhaps he simply needs its respect. To show that if he has to fight, he will without hesitation.

After all, unless something is truly, irredeemably evil, had committed unforgivable crimes or immediately attacked him, Koda wouldn't seek to kill it. There's no purpose in that, nothing for a true warrior to prove.

As many have said in many worlds and cultures, be wary when ye fight monsters, lest ye become a monster yourself.

He knows this quite well.
