Introduction

Well if you know me, you would know that I have no artistic talent whatsoever. I definitely wouldn't consider myself an artist by any means. I am so sorry if you cringe at what I'm about to share today. What I'm sharing today is an image of a lion fighting a dragon and winning which is actually a [zealy quest mission for Leofinance](https://zealy.io/c/leofinance-4960/invite/yXavc5mPyPDmbarjwXLjU). This campaign has a 10k USD prizepool and 200k Hive power delegation. Feel free to join! Everyone is welcome and Leofinance is a super nice and friendly community! ![shawnnft__1_-removebg-preview.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/EoK4vnpoDEUG2ppkzASkRX8U145FGeGC9Q9TCqu54QLNisogBjVxfNgHZsTe8cV7Djp.png)

The Process & My Thoughts

***Step 1*** Well the mission was to create an image of a lion beating a dragon so of course my first step was getting a picture of a lion! ![1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48QSk4zehxJWXicd3XcgKuaJGLqLNwi5aHwHCtVfjNs4XrXwn7yGfLUr1vPXa5ngry.png)
***Step 2*** After getting a picture of a lion, I tried my best to find a good picture of a dragon. ![2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48SrQKyicf6YGQUGwGebCWjfWfAiLgwBarkb968c3N1PZaUGXoKzy3KMEdCp7fvqEB.png)
***Step 3*** After having the lion and dragon in the image already, I needed to find a background image for them as this would be the place they battle. I searched for a fantasy like background and ended up with the background image below. ![3.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48WgKF55ArmN3zCbqjHQnLe5PmRDZySnvSTfDbWkQGoMmAsftk5CWmrVMFgSoTvzNt.jpg)
***Step 4*** After the battlefield was finally set, I thought about it and figured that the color of the lion and dragon was not that good in black so I decided to make the dragon red and the lion yellow goldish. ![4.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48XAqV7p1fQJsXTC18G7higNjKbQPzYaXCDxD3K9FYZ8yp5ZXqYPaeQfEfT5gtMSTV.jpg)
***Step 5*** After changing the colors of the dragon and lion, I was thinking how to make the lion look like it was beating the dragon. In order to do this, I rotated the images so the dragon was lying on the ground and the lion was on top of the dragon pressing down on his tail. ![5.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48XeaDjuaEPN6yV4J8RCXJUv9g79aeM5vGGQapceihDMLqvCnME1ZsNvjMF97iNz88.jpg)
***Step 6*** After looking at the image, the background didn't look suitable so I found another background image in a forest which seemed better than the one with the waterfalls. ![6.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48Tnu7Rob4uU8yBuffPogK75AhqYe3mDxd1kxFKn8E5nGiuJr6GTH3DqopHnSjPq8U.jpg)
***Step 7*** Finally, I decided to just add some dialogue for fun so at least you can get a good laugh I hope because this was probably not the best art you'll ever see but I hope you can see I did take the time and effort to try to attempt this mission. ![7.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/48XeoRvz7gV2hA6VVhez2X92vpd2vf8sS6qCmE1djqGMzvZy1GuWmgRQHb8Y4N29Bv.jpg)

Thank You

Anyways that's all from me! I'm super sorry if this artwork was bad. I really tried my best for this and I hope at least the last image was kind of funny. Thank you for your time! ![shawnnft__1_-removebg-preview.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shawnnft/EoK4vnpoDEUG2ppkzASkRX8U145FGeGC9Q9TCqu54QLNisogBjVxfNgHZsTe8cV7Djp.png)
