My Dreamsteed

Yesterday I was feeling down. Anything didn't help at all, so I started to draw something new, something I had never drawn before. Something without lines, with a challenging animal and hard-to-draw scenario. And this is what I started to make.

At first, it was supposed to be a 30 minute sketch, but it hooked me. My sad feelings started to go away and I really enjoyed drawing this. So this is kind of a vent art... I think.

But well. This is my Dreamsteed. He will carry me to the dreams and back. My protector and my savior.

Time: ~ 11½ h

EDIT// I re-drew the patterns and the glowing. Just because it looked a bit messy.
