A commission for Morghus of his wyvern self trying to get at those hard to reach places on his wings. Maintaining proper wing condition and all, you know. ^^
This was quite a fun image to create, and using flying fox references really helped a lot to convey a proper texture in the wing membranes, as well as working with a better knowledge of the range of motion that could be possible. I think I am quite happy with how the scales turned out, and the lighting was a good challenge that I'm sure I didn't fully utilize. One at at a time, though, right?
Hope you enjoy the image, and thank you so much for the opportunity to work with your dragon again, Morghus! You are amazing. <3

You just don't get to see wyvern-type dragons preening. This is an amazing piece. :)
