Happeh birthday to the red drake~

Oh my lord it took ages to do this. ;n; I severely misjudged the amount of time it'd take. Before his birthday I had everything up to the scales done.. and then scales happened. There must be over a thousand on him. I shaded every single individual one to give it more volume/depth than just a little circle. It was worth it I feel!

I added a galaxy to the night sky so it isn't so.. blank. Thanks to a friend for the idea. I disliked the galaxy at first but it's growing on me the more i look at it.

This dragon here is supposed to be sitting on a rocky spire in a lava stream within the Sacred Lands of the Fire Dragons. It's basically a lava-filled wasteland but the Fire Dragons worship the place as a truly blessed land by the great flames that created the earth. All of the molten rock is just the world and land ripe for creation. Fire Dragons refuse to let anyone get near these lands, even though they probably couldn't anyway. Any other dragon race would die from the extreme heat of what's referred to as the Furnace by the Wind Dragons. Here he sits, looking around suspiciously for any non-fire kin that may dare venture into his section of the Sacred Lands...
