Flamma Vitae

This is a commission/trade piece for my sister.  She likes my Stone Dragons and wanted me to do a quetzlcoatl-themed pair using ruby and peridot as the stone bases (her husband's and her birthstones, respectively).  The trick was to keep the picture from coming across as too "Christmassy", since I'd planned from the beginning to work in a lot of gold with the red and green.  The addition of a good deal of blue addressed this issue nicely. 

The color work was done entirely with Prismacolor pencils, and there are Swarovski crystals on the dragons' foreheads.
