Description
Enter the dragon's lair if you dare!My aim for this picture was to paint a classic image of a powerful dragon. I thought that a red dragon would make an aggressive looking creature, and is a colour that will sit well alongside the golden treasure and dark cavern. Skeletal remains are scattered on the floor to show the fate that awaits any treasure hunters rash enough to take on this beast.
An article about how I painted this picture is published in issue 50 of Imagine FX [link] Out today in the UK and Europe and elsewhere in the world next month.
I hope you like it

I see this a lot on Google.
And this dragon reminds me of both Smaug and Alduin and I don't know why.

I love the details you put into the drawings.Β Everywhere I look tells a story about this dragon, particularly, why it's a bad idea to be in this dragon's lair near its horde.

always has put into my mind what Smaug should have looked like even before theΒ movies, also Reds are the most powerful(the only exception being the great green from the dragonlance seriesΒ

Hello,
Am interested in the largest of dragons art, a package with 7 differentΒ images of a GIGANTIC DRAGON
i) SIX COLORED IMAGES: Head - 1 from front and 1 from sides,Β
full body - 1 from both sides, 1 - flying and 1 when sitting;
ii) ONE VECTOR: Head, as viewed from the right side of the dragon -Β
to be used as my personal logo. How much will that be?
NB: The resolution should be at least 4000 x 4000, and the colors should be vivid not fancy ones,Β and should reflect true dragon colors. (Notice to the public: No pirated software may be used as it is illegal.)

look like it would jump out of the picture. Amazing and Beautiful. Great Work, deserves a daily deviant. Your other dragons are amazing too.

That thing looks pretty nice, always liked dergs and this is no exception.
It got brought to my attention in a reddit comment. Speaking of which, that reddit comment also mentioned this being stolen.

It's on their website banner and in the logo for their product, if i'm not mistaken.
Looks like they didn't only plagiarise code, but art as well
