Shrike quickly spotted the creature tailing him in the mountain. Not the least intimidated by him, he stood up on his rear legs, unfolded his massive wings and let out a blood-curling roar. He was a fighter, and he was not afraid.

ooooooh god, finally done with this D: I gotta say, I'm really happy with the result. This drawing has been draining all my free time for the past week or so. I hope all the details doesn't make anyone's head implode D:

I did the feathers after the scales and oh god was it hard to not make them glossy too D: It just felt really wrong to not be using speckles of white everywere after doing those shiny scales.

Sorry for the sloppy background, I was running out of time.

I feel like I should really have more to say about this, but I've pretty much said it all already on the WIP's comment here [link] :/
