Realistic-shaded commission for Shartan of DA/FA featuring Qian for Qwqs of DA/FA!
Hnnnnnng, I'm so stupid happy with this. Like, really, really stupid. This piece is actually inspiring me to, takes a deep breath dip my toe into lineless painting again. This piece is basically lineless - I coloured the lines so faintly and my shading would only need smallish tweaks and blends here and there.
But good Lord, I love Eastern dragons.
Thanks again, Shartan! Hope you and Qwqs like it!

Really gorgeous painting- you totally should be happy with it!! The lighting has such a lovely heavenly quality, an above-the-clouds sort of feel, and the anatomy on the dragon just really nice and sinuous.
