Dracanticorum #1 - Lyrefex, the Red

We can't be sure how plagiarism algorithms will reshape creative careers in the next few years as the internet becomes an ocean of spam. I sometimes think what would I do, what would be my "Swan Song" if I had to abandon the life I've built. This expression refers to an ancient, but false, belief that swans sing a beautiful song just before they die, it means a final gesture or performance before retirement or death.

To which I say "screw that". I won't go down anytime soon and when I do I'll be roaring and spitting fire. Singing a Dragon's Song. "Canticorum" means "songs" in latin. It's the Year of the Dragon and to celebrate it I'll be finishing the sketches I made in the "Smaugust" challenge in 2019, in my own time, my own terms, possibly during way more than one year, for no reason other than I love drawing dragons. Here is the first one. I hope it inspires you to keep creating too!
