Ironically this piece originally started out because I wanted to redo my watermark, but while trying to come up with ideas for a new watermark I fell in love with this idea of an adorable little celestial wyvern and it just ended up becoming a full illustration! 😅

This entire process was extremely fun as I got to experiment with so many different aspects from designing a dragon, let alone specifically a wyvern (and having to adjust my original idea around as wyverns don't have 4 legs like standard dragons), to working on belly scales which was a first-time experience for me! I think one of the most challenging aspects besides trying to balance so many complex aspects of the piece together, was actually trying to create let alone render the celestial patterned wings!
