This is one of 5 traditional hand-drawn illustrated covers I have finished for my dear friend  StardustStriker
I wanted to make it look like it mimics the style of ancient chinese painters where they used brush and ink to paint their pictures.
However,I didn't have any ink in color so I had to improvise with watered out acryl paint to give both the dragoness and the background a more rich palette but still blend and smooth like ink as if it was painted by watercolors.
Cover featuring his series of fantasy novels called Dragori Legend that features Annalei of Mistveil tribe as one of the main protagonists.
Check out Starduststriker's page for any information regarding the novel.
