Just a pinch of Shaggy Maggy's full power. Khem.

I absolutely hate the way my artworks look when scanned or photographed. Especially if metallic paint was used. The charming reliefs and color play have faded here, so it was necessary to insert a texture and tediously process it in Photoshop.

!!So please watch this short Insta video to see how the artwork actually looks and shines!! - https://www.instagram.com/p/CNu-wJZJVXV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

It's so much better IRL :c

This was also the hardest dragon I ever painted ×_×' I even think I'll take a break from the acrylic paint, because this work drained all my energy. (눈_눈)

“But why peacock patterns?” you may ask. Well, actually, the first Shagaru Magala concept artworks were different: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERlavORXsAI_lpA?format=jpg&name=medium

I liked this version very much (though the head seemed weird to me), so I tried to combine the old design with the current one. Also, if you look closely at this concept art, you will notice that these spots are not just peacock patterns, but notches. I'd like to show this in my work too, but I was already very tired at the end and could not do so. It would be too overloaded with details anyway...

It's a pity that the wings did not fit completely in the picture, but I still tried my best.

If you support me with at least 1 ko-fi on https://ko-fi.com/ravencorona, I'll show you 35 step-by-step photos of this piece via DA Sta.sh or any other way.
