Another piece from 2018

He may not be able to see you... but he knows you're there

I wasn't sure exactly where I wanted to go with this dragon concept, other than I knew I wanted large horns. The bunched up posture, blind eyes, broken teeth, drool, that all came in as I painted. Initially I was going to go with the wing closest outstretched to show the body underneath, but having them down was something different and really helped showcase a defensive position.

The colours were a sudden choice, and I really wasn't certain they would work but I'm so glad I stuck with them!

Part of a series of commissions.
