This probably will be the most time intensive project I have ever attempted.
9 hours to burn the base picture, then a few days hand coloring it.

I have never seen a nine-hour engrave! I love that picture! Perhaps if you moved the whole picture over and down some the dragon would fret less

After seeing the post about this ingrave I was going to ask what it was for. Glad I kept scrolling! Love your work!
and even MORE PROGRESS IS MADE!!
(the pick guard is just a color printout, I am awaiting the material to make a proper pick guard) still need to stain and more work . . .

For future reference on layout questions
- Do a mock-up in your graphics program - lay the art in a few different places to see if you like it.
- Run an engrave where your entire project is only an inch or two tall - it’ll turn that 9 hour engrave into just a few minutes and you’ll see where everything ends up.
ALSO coming TOGETHER!!!
Originally I was going to do the fret with scales, (as my concept shows) but I decided that was too OTT

I have heard dragons were very good with scales I hear they make a great pict guard.
