This dragon carries several books at his belt, calmly reading in the middle of battle.

He picks up new spells on the fly, casting them the instant he learns them.

"Behold cerulean waves,

Ye tyrant of ash

And reaper of flame.

Whom spired empire

He did fell

On this woeful day."

Instead of depicting a specific dragon, I wanted to build the illustration around the idea of one side against another, two opposing forces that are still part of the same composition.

The symmetry naturally led me to the idea of the ouroboros: two figures chasing each other in an endless cycle, suggesting infinity and a kind of temporal loop.
