woot. Finally uploaded it.
Don't be mistaken by the metallic scales: on Tymaera metallic doesn't ='good' and chromatic doesn't mean 'evil'... (that tends to be governed more by Bloodline or individual leanings) Tymaeran dragons angle more toward 'lawful' and 'chaotic' respectively ... it just means this guy's probably not going to randomly bite your head off for the fun of it (unless you give him a good reason to). And he wouldn't feel sorry for you if he did - gold dragons are notoriously up their own arses about other species being inferior to dragons (rather like reds, but with better tempers).
The purple eye... besides it being a nice complement to the gold (so I thought
), there's another reason - the typical breath weapon of Tymaeran gold dragons is a kind of supercharged liquid potassium (which you may remember from chemistry lessons at school ignites in air and burns with a luvverly purple colour) so purple seemed to make sense.
This one comes up lovely as a print, btw
... (not that I'm dropping hints about buying 'em or anything, it's just my local printer did an awesome job with some copies I'm gonna take to Dragon*con).

DAAAAAAAAAAAyum.......the detail is just mind blowing, seriously. Though having it be "good" never crossed my mind, it looks pretty damn evil to me

Oh wow, you really put a lot of thought into him didn't you? You're the first to add a chemistry thing into a dragon
