Whilst the sleeping tempest gathers might
Yay! Finally finished this thing.
Scanning this just doesn't work, too many reflections from the gold (as seen here).
The camera worked a little better; but the gold always exaggerated every stray ray of light, with a dark me-sized reflection in the middle. I finally figured out that all I needed to do was cut a little lens hole in the middle of a sheet of drawing paper to block out my reflection and get an even reflection, and angle it in a slightly north-easterly direction about a foot behind a cloud-diffused ray of southern sunlight. Whew. I need to get a better photo setup.
Still had to photoshop it a bit, but it turned out more or less looking like it does in real life. Well, it's way cooler than I could capture, the dragons scales reflect the light as you walk past it. Oh dear, don't tell me I'm going to start posting videos of drawings :P
