Ever have one of those things where it's stuck in your head until you can knock it out onto some paper?
This is one of those things.

I'm fairly proud of this one, though it is technically a "gussied up" sketch, really. And I went back to my old style of shading. The gradient ones look nice, but the process takes forever for me and I still like the look of my previous style. Though perhaps I could benefit from mixing the two? ;)
Orange is totally an under-rated color for dragons.
