Wallow Fire Dragon

Description

This is my interpretation of the Wallow wildfire as a giant ferocious fire dragon. This fire is the biggest fire in Arizona's history...still burning right now actually. The smoke at one point went as high as 25,000 feet.

People have been interptiting forces of nature as creatures since they learned to pick up charcoal and draw on cave walls, and I like how you gave it a modernization. I even noticed you made the hil inside the smoke into the dragons' spine.

I doubt anyone could have drawn this better, you had to live with this thing rampaging towards you and even breathing fire (literally the embers) onto your town.

Quality wasn't the point here, it was to convey a message of what this fire was like for you, and in that you succeeded. Yet even then the brush style you used makes it look like a canvas painting.

And lastly, most art on this website is either drawn as practice or because the artist likes that character. But this was drawn for a totally different purpose. This actually means something. And at the end of that day, that's what makes this special.
