An older work from 2008, which I entered into Aramii's thanksgiving contest. The theme was "Friendship," and this features a Maldra (dragon) and Alitis (winged canine). The animals were done by hand with no references, and the background was filtered, manipulated, and over-painted from a photograph I took. It's a little out of place because I ran out of time for the deadline and had left the bg for last...
