I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I made some notes to process some observations of feathered wings and thought I'd share. If it's useful to you too, I'd be glad. Not intended to be scientific or precise so take it with a grain of salt!

Following a dragon across the moonlit dunes 🌙 2/15 #Smaugust #dragon #art #desert #scenery #night

Digital painting of a desert at night, slightly lit by the setting sun. On the dunes in the distance, below the red moon, sits a dragon seemingly consisting of sand dust that is blown away by the wind. In the foreground stands a traveler who climbed the dune from the cave behind, now looking towards the dragon, and the dragon looking back

Fourteenth attack on Agorahn for @arukanoda.bsky.social! Focused more on texturing rather than shading for this one, inspired a bit by just how detailed all of their art is, certainly one of my big inspirations art wise!
