Dragon's Daybreak

The dragon carefully scroops up the bright yellow sun in its talons and spreads its wings. With a flap or two, it becomes aloft and begins to climb up the sky. Farther and farther it flies, its wings beating rhythmically on either side of its body. Determined to get there, it starts to fly quicker, the night sky becoming a blur around it. The sky that it passes by turns a brighter blue as it feels the sun's light. The dragon is determined to reach its destination in time and bring warmth to the world. And so it soars higher and higher as the day begins to break.


Ahh...I like how this onne turned out.
I thought it would be like the dragon is bringing up the sun in the morning, like that it's its job or something. But my dad thought that the dragon looked more evil, like that it was stealing the sun, so I began to think of it with two minds (which is usually not a good idea xD). Now that it's done, I'm back to the first, original mind x3. Which do you guys think it's doing?

I used one light source and it turned out good yay! This picture was really tricky in EVERY way. The angle of underneath...I had NEVER done that before. I think it turned out right and I'm still amazed with myself that I managed to do it xD. And the sun orb turned out quite glowy x3.

This dragon isn't a character of mine, so it has no name. If I had to give it one...I'd call him...Daybreak maybe? xDD Creativity, I know x3.

A couple of hours (like 5-7?) from preliminary sketch in sketchbook to last touch of the stars.
