Description Had this idea the other night when I was up until about 2am and I just finished it last night-ish.

Since I love Driger so much I wanted to honour him again by doing this Chinese mythology picture of him.

The orignal idea I had in my head was to make it all in graphite but then I wanted to see how it would look if I put the graphite down first and then used different hues of greens to hightlight specific parts of the mountains and Driger and also the clouds.

Well I hope you guys like and I might do the other three bit beasts. hehe and then merge all of the pictures together. But we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the view and I hope you likies!

This might sound totally weird... but I saw this exact picture in dream a couple nights ago. How freaky is that?? Seriously, when I saw the thumbnail size, I was like ".... Whoa"

I seriously love it, Steph!! The background looks all coolios and green with some funky smudging, and of course Driger looks AMAZING!! All super cool!! So mighty-looking, and a true guardian. ^^ Really adore it, you've done such an amazing job, and the lighting too, YAY!! Well done!!

Thank you! No I've just used a 0.7 mechanical led pencil and then sprayed it over with fixative and then I've just used different hues of green for different highlighted bits of the picture
Thanks so much! And I am working on Dragoon at the moment, so the other three will be done when they can be! heheheh

I like how you made use of the green lightning; it really helps to spread that green driger has throughout the picture. Driger's also looking great, love the pose you used for him.
