This took AGES to save in color in full size (3.66m x 1.30m). My original estimation of three days work became A WEEK because of frequent crashing due to gigantic size & painful cpu calculations.

The big black stripe in the middle is where a metal beam connects the two glasses, so it has to stay empty.

Done in blue and black pencil, inked in Ecoline, coloured in PS. The trees were drawn on my Wacom using one basic shape as a template and duplicating it into about twenty layers and drawing over seperately, then copypasta into different arrays and sizes/shapes.

All in all the biggest work I've ever done.

P.S. the first attempt had the dragon wings leaving flametrails instead of stardust, and there was no moon or forest, but is was a bit too savage for a netcafe. This is a bit more inviting I hope.
