Prompt Chosen: Dragon and Cheetah that are in the sky
Title of work: Daybreak
What inspired you to choose this prompt?
I already enjoy drawing and painting dragons, but this prompt had a dreamlike feeling to it that stuck with me. It sounded like a scene out of a children’s storybook. It gave me freedom to give context to it as a visual narrative – a fight between powerful and ethereal deities.
