Dragon girl

A young figure stands in profile against a bold, rust-orange backdrop. Their skin carries muted tones of peach and ochre, softly highlighted along the cheekbone and collarbone. A single lock of ash-blond hair escapes a loose half-ponytail, tracing a gentle curve behind a subtly pointed ear. Fine freckles dot the bridge of their nose, and their gaze remains steady, as if locked in a silent conversation beyond the frame. The artist uses clean, confident linework to define every contour, balancing detail in the face with broader, more gestural strokes elsewhere. Towering just behind them, a dragon’s head fills the left side of the composition. Its scales lie in deep shades of maroon and burnt sienna, layered in hatch-style textures that suggest both rugged strength and an almost leathery softness. Light glints off a single, intelligent eye, while rows of jagged teeth peek from beneath a curled upper lip. The dragon’s presence feels protective rather than menacing, its snout aligned with the figure’s shoulder as though sharing breath and purpose. Together, they form a harmonious pair: human and beast rendered in a stylized blend of graphic novel boldness and painterly warmth.
