Lunar New Year has arrived and it's the year of the dragon, while Aaron was busy celebrating this new experience. Claudia meanwhile was getting excited and decided to embrace the Zodiac for the year, altering herself with her magic to have more Chinese Dragon traits. Tho she didn't realize how much she stood out, she felt even more flustered when Aaron ended up staring at her, tho more in beauty.

I was waiting on a response form a commission being worked one when I just started working on this until 3am in the morning! I do love the style of Lunar New Year and Year of the Dragon felt like a good time to dragon a character up. I went with Claudia since she won the OC Ballot of 2023 and I just went for it!
I did use some pre-design bruses for the dress and for the background but god damn did it come out so well!! I ended up having a late idea in the sketch process to have the Chinese-style tiara her (old) vessel and it works beautifully. But the part that I love the most is the the brush I used. It's a custom pen brush I created for the [Comm] Merhug for shines but I felt like using it and my goodness does it look absolutely outstanding!
