This dragon is the final progression I've been working towards, with my Asian flame motif. I'm really happy with it.
It was made as a very special gift for someone who inspired me. I tried to thank him once with words. He is so intrinsically Japanese that he brushed it off..."No, no. I'm just an ordinary person"
Maybe the truth is, no one is ordinary. Maybe the truth is, we all have it inside us to be better than we think we are, and to inspire. Even if it's by competing in an obstacle course, or making something beautiful, or making a new friend, or being a good mother, or reaching out in little ways that make the world a kinder place for someone...even just for a minute. You never know when you're being extraordinary.
I hope when he sees this dragon, he'll understand that.

Wow. Okay, this one is my favorite (and I *really* like purple). The eye ridges are what do it for me; they give it that extra little bit of character that makes it shine. And the curly whiskers of course. ^_^
Wow, just wow this piece is freaking amazingly beautiful.

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.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
