My last commission to be done only in colored pencils, due to the time it takes and the risk of burnout (I started this before I got my Prisma markers, which takes me far less time and hassle to color images). Warp's char is a broadwing hawk, and the dragon is just a special symbol to him, which together form an egg-shaped, yin-yang pose. The chars are supposed to look stylized, and the background flat and undetailed, because I wanted the contrast of detailed foreground set against a simple background, with the foreground creating the background's border. (BTW, the colors are MUCH more vivid IRL, the details more clear, and the original is quite large--at least for my usual work.)

I adore the dragon to frightening degrees. It's really very beautiful, in all my favorite pastel shades. :3

I like how you chose to do the simple background with detailed characters. It really makes the chars stand out. I like the sun too, I would never be able to get such a round circle irl
