Full Res and Sketch: "Real Dragon" Hefty

From a doodle I was doing with a friend that I went way too far on, we had been wondering what my sona would look like but as a feral or more fantasy media dragon. I think it turned out pretty well!

Also, here's a little story to go with it because I couldn't help myself :3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An adventurer since your earliest days, you've been in search of one of the most fantastically luxurious treasures rumored to be located in a mountain overlooking the farms outside the city you've been staying at recently, guarded by a monster of impossible size and hunger. After making preparations, you don your armor and weapon and make the trek to the opening of a cave you suspect could lead to the chamber where this powerful hoard of ancient knowledge, magic, and riches is said to reside. After what feels like hours of spelunking, You approach what looks to be a dark cavern coming up, but just as you're about to step inside, a faint gurgle and a gust of air blow out your torch. Catching your bearings and stepping forward a bit, you around to see faintly glowing purple eyes lock on you from incomprehensibly high up while a low grumble emanates around you. A deep voice bellows out: "Another adventurer approaches... And what have you come here for?"

Anxiously you say back "I- I've been s- searching for the a- ancient power, riches, a- and knowledge o- of the beast w- who lives here... uhhh..." 

"Knowledge, riches, and power, you say?" the beast grumbles back with a tone of curiosity. "Perhaps I can teach you some of what I know... If you can handle it~"

He then starts spouting on about the best way to prepare roasts, bake pies and cakes, and create the most deliciously rich and fattening food you've ever heard.

"uhm... Mr. dragon, sir? This is all well and good, but... d- do you have any more... powerful knowledge and abilities you can show me?"

"Oh, more powerful abilities are your goal, then? Very well, I may have something for you, then... Ahem-"

BWOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRPPPP

The cave undulates and jostles you around as the incomprehensibly loud and deep belch echoes against the stone walls. You estimate that the residents 3 kingdoms over could hear it too.

"How's that?" he asks, pridefully.

In shock, you steady yourself and decide to re-light your torch, hoping to see just what this creature looks like. A few failed attempts later, the dragon lowers his head gently in front of you and speaks. "Let me get that for you..." he says in his low but now gentle voice, before lightly belching out a small puff of flame, lighting your torch with a supernaturally bright glow.

Raising your new source of luminance, you take in the beast in all his "glory": a mass of gray and lavender scales caked in lard and rolls nearly completely filling the city-sized cavern you two are in. In no rumors of the beast were there any indications it had such a ponderously enormous midsection. Still taking it all in, you gear a groan and rumble from the belly in front of you, again feeling the vibrations in your feet. You're speechless in the face of a being of such immensity, undulating lard, and ceaseless hunger. He notices this.

"You seem a bit... taken aback." he says, strangely apologetically. "Perhaps you should go now... humans have been known to lose their sanity in my rolls before~" He chuckles lightly but proudly as he lowers his head again, releasing a deafening belch from his gaping, tavern-sized jaws directly in your direction, extinguishing your torch. Your senses are completely numbed as you're engulfed in the rushing air from the beast's stomach until you open your eyes and find yourself back at the entrance to the cave. No cavern, no treasure, and no massive pile of blubbery dragon burping at you. Now dazed and tired, you start to head back to the city to rest. You're famished, though. No, you're more than just famished. You're hungrier than you ever have been in your life. It's as if you could show up to a banquet for hundreds, clear it out, and still be starving... It's time for you to find everything you can to eat as the faint smell of the dragon belch fades from your nostrils, a tinge of arcane energy left behind in your now ravenous stomach.
