✨ Happy New Year 2023!
I wish you with this illustration strength and courage against all the "dragons" who might be on your way in 2023. Can you see the numbers in the silhouettes?

A digital painting illustration of a wide angle view on a landscape: a swamp in the mist, a half dead tree in the shape of a 'two' on the left, a arch shaped like '0' crossed by a character on a unicorn (it's Pepper on a donkey with a plunger on his head, carrot, her cat sits in the back), a "2" is a giant black dragon, and the "3" is the tail of the dragon. The whole scene has clear silhouette of "2023".

Magnifique, comme d'habitude.
Happy new year to you too! This is lovely! :artaww:
Bonne année à toi aussi David !
I think embrace the Dragons, they are rarely as scary as we think. They are just misunderstood 🐲🐲
It inspires my imagination. Thank you. Happy new year!
Beautiful! I really love the light effects!
Thanks a lot for all your teaching lessons.
Mastodon needs an additional “I love this with all my heart” button!

Have a great 2023, David!
happy new year David! Wonderful painting
thank you david, and the same to you!
That is beautiful. I'm a writer and I, also, find it inspirational.
Yes, the 2023 is very clear.
lovely painting! But a small thing bugs me. The tail of the dragon looks like it would hurt. Not an expert, but I think it might have got it's tail stuck in a very heavy gate to its secret vault where it keeps all the treasures. 😆
@lx242 I had to stretch things a bit to make it to shape like a good "3" 😉
I love this! ❤️
Wonderful! Thanks a lot and also best wishes for the year!
Is that a Stargate?
@newsorpigal I just wanted to find a good shape for the '0' of 2023 but with the decoration and all the steps to reach it, it could really work as a portal or a gate to somewhere else, probably guarded by this dragon.
That's beautiful! Thank you!
I really like this illustration VERY much! Love dragons, wizards, unicorns and all this stuff.
Have a good year 2023! ⚒️
Awesome! Reminds me of valheim.
Love it! Significant to me
🤯 Bonne année !
Best wishes for the new year!
than you, David! Your work is amazing and I'm looking forward to the New Year!
Beautiful—The Dragon of 2023!

Thank you for this gift.💚
phenomenal! I love it!
I think I can handle a dragon or two after this year!

Thanks for a great image!
this is great! Happy New Year
I like it. Definitely see everything 🤔 it's Very inspiring
Yes, I sure can! Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🎄🎊🐉
that's awesome!
this is really speaking to me-may I save it to display on my iPad as the background?
@TeaSipper Thanks! And sure, I share a high resolution version in a follow up post here https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/109615586180303900 with an open license. I'm sure it will looks good on the high resolution display of a device like that!
I like it so much, especially the person on the horse (?).
@W99 Thanks! If you want to know more what horse it is, it's a reference to this episode (but in silhouette, and from far distance, just a little cameo): https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomic/ep20_The-Picnic.html
took a few seconds to notice it. Without the last tail i wouldn't have noticed it.
My hometown Geldern has a long history of slaying dragons since 878 AD. We know how to handle them.
@AnnaBalade Merci ☺️
Oui, c'est fait pour, j'ai partagé une version haute résolution en license libre ici, ça rendra surement mieux avec plein de pixels et détails : https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/109615586180303900
ohh I love this!! :blobAww:
it’s the year of the rabbit
@raph False, it's always the year of the "dragons" in my astrology. 😉
I love this so much! My daughter is an artist and recently got accepted to Drexel Universy for animation. Their mascot is a dragon. It’s beautifully fitting.
love the alt text, I never would have noticed the "unicorn" otherwise!
od course they'll be dragons ahead, we will slay them if we must, but I'd rather avoid that. Conquer then with love, and befriend is much better. Would you not want a dragon for a friend?
- evocative and fun
Some dragons are helpful. Lest we forget.
Cool work! 😺
So...shall we enter 2023 ? The dragon is intimidating, but doesn't seem un-friendly.
Well..., 16 days into January, and for now he seems relatively gentle 😀
Happy new year David, if it ain't too late !
Wonderful image for 2023! I love this!
