Finished commission for the wonderful Myr, who was generous enough to help us out in our time of need. This is his character Myr, who is an auroran dragon, hence the many bright colors. This was a learning experience with lighting, and the photograph totally chewed up the subtle shading and color shifts, the original is much sharper. Since the painting is still wet, I am not able to scan it at this time, so this image will be replaced with a scan once I can move it without fear of smearing.
Yes, I used Windsor & Newton water mixable oils. I like those because they don't reek with fumes and it's good because I have two little kids who love to get into things.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
