Comment: Forgot to note in my commissions section about this, but a friend of my mother's, Jerry, was planning on getting a tattoo of a dragon on the left side of his back kind of on his shoulder as well. He had someone draw a dragon for him before he asked me. The one he showed me was hideous (badly, badly drawn)... and he didn't like it very much, so he asked if I would do this for him. So I did.

What also helped was I just watched Reign of Fire before drawing this. Mom said those were the kind of dragon he wanted for the tattoo, so I had a pretty good idea then what he wanted. The dragons in that movie were so cool, the guys who created them made them work. And the animation was so smooth.

But anyhow. Just thought I'd post this up before I give it to him on Friday. Yes, his commission was on the top of my to-do list since I had to have it to him by this Friday... so yeah.

And there's a name hidden in the fire if you can see it. The title of the piece is what it says in the fire. It's not too hard to spot if you're looking for it, but at a glance you don't quite notice it off-hand. And that's what he'd asked me to do so yeah. I think I did fairly well on it.
