I like it! And I love process talk, always. I especially like the tail; it was what caught my eye in the lineart closeups.

Thank you. And I'm happy to hear that the process talk was interesting for you. Sadly I have no cool videos to offer. :) But I'm thinking that maybe next time I use acrylics I'll try photographing some of the inbetween coloring stages. Some looked really cool in their own way, like after I did the first background glazes I started coloring the dragon with its shadows, so that then I had more or less inks with one color sepia shadows, which was a very nice effect.
