Tiamat
🕑 Added 2024-06-24 02:21:29 +0000 UTCTiamat, five-headed goddess of dragons, drawn in celebration of the 2024 Chinese New Year.
This was probably one of the biggest and most ambitious drawings I've done in a long time. I can't count how many times I've re-drawn, re-colored, or re-sized different parts of her body, especially the parts where her scales transition between different colors of scales- I especially wanted those parts to look more "natural" rather than something that looked hastily cobbled together. Overall, I wanted my take on Tiamat to be different from the more "traditional" depictions of her while still keeping to the basic idea of a multi-headed dragon of different colors. I ended up going with a more serpentine body shape (fitting for Chinese New Year) with different sections having different dragon colors and designs, with the tail being a unique purple color to represent Tiamat's status as "royalty".
Needless to say I'm very proud of this. I originally wanted to finish this in time for Chinese New Year, but over time I realized my final vision would take way more time than that, so I just shot for finishing it by the end of the year.
