Traditional japanese dragon

Everyone today.

I created a traditional japanese dragon. (Original art work)

Japanese traditional dragons are characterized by “big nose and protruding chin”, “eyes in front”, “carp scales”, “bearded”, and “with thunder or haze on the shoulders”.
It’s a little different from the Chinese dragon.

I rendered it in wood carving style.

I hadn’t decided on the style of the scales first, so I wiped out the rough model and created all (thousands of) scales with the Slash2 brush. It was exhausting. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Perhaps next time I’ll make it with Chisel3D brushes.
