Portrait of a beloved pet

"From all the pet portraits I have been commissioned to paint so far, Lord Azimuth's pet dragon was easily the ugliest. The end result of this inbred insanity the nobles tend to refer to as "pedigree", the creature was small, cross-eyed, a perpetually drooling and flightless shadow of its noble ancestors. The only thing present in it that still had anything resembling a dragon was its energy compressed into a body too small to handle it, making it spin on its podest and run away countless times during the painting session, to be chased through the palace by its many dedicated servants and brought back, where it sat for a few moments, tongue hanging out of malformed jaws to short to contain neither it nor the amount of teeth, adding to the pool of slobber on the ground, then run away and repeat the process again. Lord Azimuth was adamant on having the portrait showing the dragon from its fanciest side, so what I had painted excluded the drool, the burst blood vessels in its bulging eyes and most certainly its constant wheezing. Nevertheless, as insufferable the subject was, as good was the pay; I have heard of Lord Azimuth displaying the portrait in his dining hall, having moved the portrait of his mother to a lesser bedroom in favour of it."

Trying to get a better hang of the wet brush set in Krita. The blending aspect of them is pretty good for a more painterly style.
