To make the New Year Dragons final image, I combined a scanned image and a photograph.
I wanted the best from both. The correct proportions from the scan, and the kickass shine from the metallic paint seen in the photo.
Of course I'm still not 100% satisfied with what I did, but unless you see it in person, it'll never be right.
As a bonus I'm including the two images I used to get the final and the line art.
Happy New Year!
