Watts Illustration BootCamp 2020

Art Assignment 2: The Wizard and The Dragon
Description: Illustrate a scene in which a wizard type character is fighting a Dragon in an epic battle.  The Wizard and Dragon should be your own designs.  The location and time period is your choice.  Feel free to explore a cross genre theme.  For example Wildwest/Fantasy, or Sci-Fi/Fantasy.  The designs of the characters and environment should clearly define what genre you're crossing into.  The format is up to you, landscape or portrait.

I chose this prompt to illustrate my wizard, Emrhys fighting a dragon guardian of a lost library.
The setting is a large cavernous room with lots of giant pedestals where knowledge pools are kept, each one illuminated by it's own set of candles.

I want to depict the fight on one of this grand pedestals as Emrhys steals knowledge from the dragon.

Admittedly, I'm having a really difficult time balancing the scale of the dragon, and the wizard into an interesting composition even though the dragon is not a colossal figure.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
