Of all the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons this weirdly proved the most challenging. I pushed myself to paint a type of scales I rarely do here. This is dragon 3 of 5

It was quite a fun bit to paint out an entire dragon made of sapphire without photobashing. It basically became a material study at a certain point. Harder to understand now with the material render but I’m really proud of the scale flow on this guy.

Head closeup. I really enjoyed getting to design out such an extravagant head display. It really clicked when I treated the floating horn bits as unguals and the horns as phalanges. Torso closeup. Man I’m really proud of the scales on the upper arm and the calf into knee. Wingspan view Breath attack detail. Had fun trying to interpret the psionic wave effects. Just a lot of messing around with fun Photoshop filters and layer settings

Finally the last of my dragons for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. Unlike the others who are merely decorated with crystals, this boy is crystal to the bone; like a gummy worm made of rock. This is dragon 5 of 5
