Originally drawn in 2007

"From out of the clouds burst an enormous creature, one I've never really seen before. Its' eyes were like bright golden stars, brightening the darkness. Each beat of its' massive feathered wings was like the breath of a newborn infant. All I could do is stare in awe at the beautiful creature in all its' glory."

I've been wanting to draw him for quite some time now and finally got a chance to do so. He is an Amphitere/Tetsu cross, another one of my 'fantasy' fantasy dragons. For as old as this is, I'm still rather pleased with it. :)

For those that like little details added to the picture, the background is the northern hemisphere's constellations for the month of February. The brightest star is Vega which is located just above the moon in this picture. Polaris is right on the edge on the underside of the amphitere's neck. See if you can pick out the constellations!
