Something I made two years ago, inspired by listening to the music in the Tree Tops level in Spyro 1. I had used what were then new coloring pencils and a new mixed media pad though I wish I had run through with the pencils for a second time to fill in the white spaces.

This here is a depiction of the tree villages of the enigmatic Night Dragons, who make their homes amidst the towering Beech and Podocarp conifer trees inland from Wijenborg Bay within the reaches of the Laio-Ulchan Empire. The local dragons practice their magic and ancient ways of life largely in isolation from the outside world, under the protection of the empire, where their villages are hard for most incapable of flight to reach. On some of the great branches and trunks of the trees, the dragons have built great temples and palaces, primarily from wood, and their villages prosper even in the cold dark of the winters. Local legends tell that the great trees were tempered with by the dragons, to escape the attacks by marauding saurian tribes innumerable millennia ago and they now stand as the tallest beings on earth, dwarfing the mighty redwoods and cedars of the American Pacific coast.
