Arcane Orb

The process of this type of drawing is one of my favorite, wherein I had every intention of throwing together something quick and unthorough, but then the end result catches me by surprise. I've found these can only happen when there's no worry as to how it will turn out, in which I couldn't care less if it resembled a dramatic, starry dragon orb or a blob whose sole purpose is to look indistinguishable. It's a regret you cannot turn that kind of creativity on and off.
