Almost finished

Hello out there artists, web surfers, bloggers, researchers and more. Heres a little sample of what Im working on now. Its a commission based on an Oriental theme of a Chinese dragon. I hope I got the specs right because I know theres meaning to certain details of a dragon, so based on what Ive researched Ive produced this interpretation of the Chinese dragon. Its still not finished but working on the details. I know the number of claws matters, that a 5 clawed dragon was said to be the symbol of the Emperor transformed into a dragon, and the 4 clawed dragon was said to be one of the Emperors followers, and a 3 clawed dragon meant it was a person of even lower rank. So I made this dragon with 4 claws, to be diplomatically correct. The person this painting is for is not really the Emperor of China, so I dont need any bad karma cause of vanity. The color also has significance, blue and gold, I believe it relates to how old the dragon is.
