A sunny afternoon

Description

"C'était une douce fin d'après-midi d'été et seuls quelques nuages troublaient l'harmonie du ciel... Je m'apprêtais à quitter Nemta-do-Shin et Oblivion afin de regagner mes pénates pour consigner mon extraordinaire voyage sur le plan du Chaos. Soudain, j'eus l'impression que la nuit venait de brusquement recouvrir la Citadelle d'Opale. Mais lorsque mes yeux s'habituèrent à ce fantastique mirage, je compris alors pourquoi cette gigantesque place surplombant la ville avait été construite. Elle qui avait nourri tant d'interrogations, si désespérément vide et, à mon sens, inutile devenait le piédestal idéal pour la formidable apparition que j’eus l'immense honneur de contempler. Mon guide m'expliqua que cette femelle de Dragon des Constellations venait se poser ainsi tous les soirs, comme si elle bénissait la nuit de la Citadelle et ne repartait qu'avec les premières lueurs de l'aube. Celle-ci déploya ses ailes sur lesquelles semblait danser un incroyable ciel nocturne. Et je compris... je compris toute la puissance des êtres du chaos dont cette dragonne me faisait une singulière démonstration. Ce n'était ni une illusion, ni un mirage, mais bien une de ces myriades de réalités alternatives auxquelles les forces du Chaos pouvaient donner accès. La créature me montrait ainsi ce qui aurait pu être à cet instant précis..."
Carnets de l'Errant, VIII, 7.

"It was a warm summer afternoon, only small clouds were wandering on the blue sky... I had to leave Nemta-do-Shin and Oblivion in order to come home and record my amazing travel in the Plane of Chaos. Suddenly, I thought the night was falling on the Citadel of Opal. But when my eyes began to be used to this mirage, I understood... I understood why this gigantic place had been built. I was so confused about this empty, desert place... Now it was the most impressive pedestal for this marvelous being. My guide explained me that this female Constellation Dragon was used to come here every afternoon just as if she was blessing the night of the Citadel before she left with the first lights of dawn. She spread out her wings on which was painted an incredible night sky. I understood all the power of beings from Chaos. It was neither a dream, nor a delusion but a true alternative reality only Chaos could have lead to. The dragon was showing me what could have been in this moment..."
The Wanderer, VIII, 7.

First thing... I'm not good at designing dragons, I know it... I'm not good at painting with traditionnal media either, I know it too...
This was just done for fun, because I wanted to try at least once. ANd OF COURSE, the scan totally ruined the colors................

This is truly a mixed media thingie! :giggle:
You have: gel ink pen, ballpoint pen, watercolor, oil painting, correction fluid, colored inks, Indian ink, coffee (merci, Ruru!), pencils, felt-tip pen and chalk!

This is dedicated to one of the most amazing traditionnal French artist, Great Friend of Dragons and such a nice person :iconkrukof2: even if... well, I feel like Justin Bieber offering a song to Mozart :rofl:

It is slightly :threaten: em..., well, a bit :shakefish:... alright totally inspired by and the description of Death' wings in Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman.

Now she is finished... well, I realize that she is really huge! :giggle:
