For MtG's "Alchemy" (digital-only) set. I didn't know this was going to be a digital-only piece (it was commissioned for a different set but got moved, as sometimes happens), and I'm definitely a bit bummed since I think this would've made a nice looking physical card and my only red one so far at that. Still, always happy for the opportunity to paint more dragons!

I always remember that time when someone told me about the nesting dragon card that can give a dragon egg token if you give it a red mana, like you give the dragon a shelter so she can bring her youngs into the world. I found the logic behind the game design very poetic. and this illustration is kinda the sequel of it.
Really good job on that piece.

Huh, I guess this IS your first red card. I think it's gorgeous, and I wish I could have it on a physical card, too. I especially like that look in the whelp's eyes like "Cease your shenanigans, I'm going to bring my friends and then you'll pay!" It's like a combination of fierceness in the maw and playfulness in the eyes, as if this dragon enjoys having an excuse to flaunt power. The looming and not-very-subtle dragon in the back of the cave is a good illustration of what this card does, and it almost feels like a bit of protectiveness, like "What's the matter? Are you not scared by my offspring? Do you really want to know what happens if you don't at least act frightened?" It's this expectant yet protective glare.
Also, on a side note, good rocks. I don't do well with rock formations, myself, so I really appreciate it when somebody does them right. I can even say the same about the meticulous scale patters on both figures.

I have a red-white card (Regal Leosaur) but yes, this is my first mono-red! And I don't think there are going to be any more red cards from me for the foreseeable future.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! The rocks were fun to do; I mainly used Peekaboo Canyona as reference.
