This dragon is an homage to the work of my esteemed colleague Coin Dale http://www.skinandbone.dk/ whose iconic style is an absolute delight. The client is a Nordic fellow who wanted to get something to celebrate his heritage, and together we picked elements of several of Colin Dale's dragons to create a new one for him. It is first drawn in lines and then all the shading was done one dot at a time, slowly sculpting it across his chest and up onto the shoulder. In the future we will add a body.
