This is an idea I've had bouncing around my head for years now: a young dragon being enticed by the flame he's not yet able to create. Made the initial sketches months ago from photos that I found (not something I'd do if I were to monetize this piece) and when #smaugust rolled around again, I decided to try and finish it.
Feel like I could spend more time rendering it, but really everything I wanted to show is present and readable. Baby is cutely fascinated, the environment is sparse and atmospheric, and momma is looming with her own fire abilities clearly hinted at.
Also just discovered how to make GIF files, so I can show my process from pen drawing to final painting.
