Arcturus stood in the field, letting the wind brush against his cheek. His crimson tabard and cloak billowing in the soft breeze. He took a deep breath, savoring the sweet smell of the fields. He had always hated waiting for a painting to be finished. All the standing around and such.

"What are you doing?' Veledar gave a delightful croon, as he slunk behind the paladin. "Your getting a portrait done!" His eyes widened into blue pleased slits, "Clearly you meant to invite me."

The painter looked out from the easel. "Dragon if you would kindly move?"

Arcturus gave a nervous smile as Veledar just stood there right behind him, unmoving.

"I am clearly in the painting now." He waved to the man. "Continue with painting me as well."

Arcturus sighed as the dragon gave him a smile. "Honestly Arcturus..nearly forgetting me?" He reached down and snuck the paladin a brief kiss. "I should make you pay for that later...Now stand up straight for the lady...I want this to be a grand picture to hang in my lair."

This piece was done by the wonderful https://bellabergolts.deviantart.com/. Originally it was just going to be Arcturus, but a slight miscommunication resulted him being in the sketch...that photo-bombing, fire spittin, cheeky overgrown dragon.
