Dragons Rising The last Nomads Challenge Entry

I am very excited to have taken part in the last Artstation Challenge.

For this Challenge I came up with a Desert World that contains rare white crystals in which Dragons lay their eggs. It takes thousands of years for the Dragons to hatch from these crystals and they are then tamed by nomadic Clans that use them for transportation, exploration and fighting. The people avoid fighting themselves. The world is threatened by wet climate which destroys the crystals before the Dragons hatch and for the challenge I depicted one of the last Clans roaming a disappearing Desert!
I hope you like it!
