Emma's Dragon

Alternatively titled Emma's Cousin's Dragon

This is a commission from as a birthday gift to her cousin. Hope he'll like it!

I didn't expect to get this done so soon after being commissioned but I guess I've really been wanting to do a feather painting lately.

This took me around 7 hours to complete.
It's itty bitty compared to my usual feather paintings, measuring 6 inches from the end of the quill to the top of the longest feather and 3 inches wide across 4 duck feathers.

This feather painting has a fun touch of metallic paint. I tried to photograph it the best I could but it's just not the same as seeing it in person. The wings, talons, spikes, arm bands, and eye are all metallic gold. I thought it was a nice compliment to the red.
