This is a commissioned piece for a friend. He's going to have me make several images from the Book of Revelation and from Daniel's prophecies. He was kind enough to let me start with a sure-fire favorite, the Great Dragon - seven heads, ten horns, iron teeth, bright scarlet scales. The rest of the details he left up to me, so I jazzed it up a bit with some yellows and blues.

This was a challenging piece. Coordinating heads, horns, scales, wings, tail, fins and frills... That took some trial and error, and a lot of sketching to figure out how to anchor the heads to the dragon's chest without it looking completely silly. I had been worried about the smaller heads getting lost in all the detail, but with color I was able to bring them out so that they're distinct.
