My first dragon post for 2013! The illustration was developed from a warm-up sketch originally created late summer 2012 (posted below). The dragon didn't change much from its original design, but I did change the pose of the girl and altered her costume as well, from fabric to style. The background was inspired by a photo I took at the Dallas Arboretum about 10 years ago (at bottom).
Beautiful illustration Tanja! I love the colors on her headdress and the little dragon. Thanks for posting the original inspirational sources, it's always interesting to see how an art piece came about.
