Even in an arid desert, the locals take time to clean and give offerings to the Dragon's hoard. Filled with the local scarab coin, and dressed in marigolds, the Dragon Shrine is a humble but beloved holy location containing the skull of a long dead beast.

This simple scene has been on my mind for a few years, and I used it as the perfect excuse to reintroduce myself to updated software, and learn Blender (like for real, not giving up after being confused about pivot points and the 3D cursor). I always forget how fun Designer can be, the coins were especially fun to figure out.
