UM

DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO THIS

JUST SAYIN'

In other news, this is the first piece of my college portfolio!!! I have to start applying in the fall, and I have no sort of portfolio set up...until now! (Well, I have one piece out of a mountain of work to do..but it's a start, right?)

I didn't plan on this turning out like this! I had a whole different background in mind, but when I started it, I couldn't really picture how I was going to go about finishing it. So instead, I thought I'd try something new!

The background (trees and stuff) were inspired by this beautiful piece by one of my favorite artists!

I hope you guys like it; this was the first time I've ever really drawn a dragon digitally, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out :)

Also, it's the first time I've drawn Aniol in a real piece, so that was super cool to do :)

All of my digital portfolio pieces are going to come with speedpaints, btw! I figure it's something important to have in my back pocket, in case somebody important wants to see my process :D

Okay, that's all I have to say! I really really like this piece, but this is the first time I've done something like this! Feedback is greatly appreciated...but please, obviously, constructive criticism instead of bashing on it :heart:
