This is a gestural workup based on a fractal flame which I bred myself. Look up fractal flames and the Electric Sheep screen saver–they are extremely cool. Specifically, it's from an alternation-style combination of electric sheep 202.11969 and 202.41223, which I thought happened to look something like a dragon eye, ergo the title. From a large render of a fractal flame blown up and auto-painted in Corel Painter, with further digital oil painting in layers by yours truly.
