the amethyst Dragon concept is based of @thesgw 's concept and @AlexStoneArt illo from the latest Fizban's Treasury book
[INSPIRATION] since Amethyst Dragons are interested in Magical and scientific instruments, the client asked to put magical scrolls and books in the hoard. So I gathered more refs for lying down scrolls Images by @filipburburan , Raymond Swanland, and @ToddLockwoodArt
[PROGRESS] trying to incorporate stuffs from the refs.
Pretty tough time!
[INSPIRATION] refs for the lair, images by @CaraidArt and the photo is Son Doong Cave
[INSPIRATION] more refs for the rendering logic. Especially the crystal's light shapes and how its color changes if it was hit by warm light. Images by Sixmorevodka Studio
[INSPIRATION] refs I gathered for the value structure. I was aiming for a dark, mysterious vibe at the beginning. Images are by Brock Grossman, Andrea Piparo, Kudos Productions and Qingkai Yang. All includes a figure in a dark environment with single concentrated lightsource
[INSPIRATION] a couple of images that gets me the juice to start the painting. All of them are @DonatoArts
A cover work for @JimZub 's latest Young Adventurer's Guide: Dragons and Treasures.
Honored to paint my first cover for D&D. Moreover it includes the amazing Amethyst Dragon.
