Created as part of a museum exhibition exploring legendary creatures and the stories that surround them, this illustration reimagines the dragon as a majestic guardian hidden within a world of wonder and discovery.

The project combined research, storytelling, and world-building to create artwork that would engage children while encouraging curiosity about myths, legends, and folklore. Through dramatic lighting, rich colour, and detailed environments, I aimed to create a scene that feels both epic and inviting, with new details waiting to be discovered on every viewing.
