Dynasties Apart - DrawWithJazza April COTM

I know its been a while since I uploaded anything. I apologize for my absence lately. Between work and life in general I haven't had much time to spend on art.
 This is my entry for DrawWithJazza's COTM for April 2017 the theme being "Tradigital"

There are many things I want to say about this piece, but i'll keep it simple and say this: I am so happy with the way this turned out. I'm highly critical of myself and my own art but for the first time in a long while, I am actually pleased with the final result.

Originally the concept of this was going to be a dragon that was half digitally painted and half coloured pencil. However, in the sketching phase my generic dragon turned into a chinese dragon. The idea then struck me to take inspiration from Chinese painting techniques. I've always liked the aesthetic of older Chinese paintings, and this was so much fun to replicate.

The title of this was difficult to come up with. I had a few ideas but, "Dynasties Apart" sounded really fitting.

Let me know what you think!!
