Spirit of Golden Fire Dragon

This is something I have been playing with for a couple days now. I did a quick pencil sketch of this dude as I had this image of him in my mind. Then I scanned the image and painted it in Photoshop. I actually did 3 versions of him which are in my scrap gallery and chose this one for my main gallery.

I was going for a really smooth metallic look that is really loose and more ghostly or spirit-like.
