The story of Midnight Lacquer Dragon
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The dark wings and rock share a palette. Narrow highlights along the wing edges and face keep the creature distinct from the ground below. The warm throat and eye give the viewer places to pause before following the wings and the long tail. Distant color in the sky separates the deep shadows of the foreground from the far ridges.
In the dragon’s story, the black rocks hold warmth for hours after sunset. The dragon glides low to catch the last currents rising from the boulders. It makes the same circuit on most evenings, following the shallow troughs until the warm air gives out and it has to climb back toward the ridge.
Someone crossing the field at dusk might see the dragon break from its route and drop its head toward a crack in the rocks. A little heat still rises from it on a night when the rest of the field has gone cold. The dragon’s change of course could give a traveler the first clue that the old landscape is shifting again.
The low flight puts the edge of each wing close to the horizon. The hard stones emphasize the dragon’s smooth, measured movement.
