In contrast to their Western counterparts Chinese dragons are considered benevolent creatures. They are bringers of good fortune and symbols of imperial power, wisdom and prosperity.

They are are depicted as long, serpentine creatures with scaled bodies. They lack wings.

Historically, the Chinese dragon has been closely associated with the emperor and the imperial family. It was a symbol of the emperor's divine right to rule, and dragon motifs were commonly found in palaces, temples, and imperial regalia.

The Chinese dragon is closely connected to the Chinese emperor. The dragon was the symbol of the emperor's divine right to rule.

In digital painting focussing on fantasy dragons play a significant role. With AI Art one could think that it is easy to render these powerful beings - however I needed several renders before I was satisfied with the result.

I must admit, I love dragons. I love to look at them (I really didn't know how different they can be, all the Chinese Dragons, the Sea Dragons, the Western dragons!) and I love to draw and paint them. Here in Western culture dragons are considered to be evil beasts, which love to eat young maids and princesses. Eastern cultures consider dragons to be more positive, full of energy and power.
