Painting commission for Bottlenose representing an abstract spiritual exploration of life, death, purification/cleansing, and the universe.
A very interesting piece to work on, as the commissioner had a very specific image in mind to represent these concepts. The "glow" on the crystals and the dragons is along the lines of the golden saint discs found in medieval religious artwork. :)
A little over 15 hours, Paint Tool SAI.
