Censored Anime Dragon Musician Portrait

Vertical fantasy anime character illustration of a [dragon musician], a shirtless dark-brown-skinned male humanoid dragon in three-quarter profile facing right, holding a tall black traditional string instrument similar to a shamisen or lute. His face is deliberately obscured by a flat opaque brown square censor block covering his eyes, nose, and mouth. He features long tousled [ash brown] hair swept back, dark branching antler-like horns, one pointed ear with a small earring, and a long golden-scaled dragon tail curling behind him. Four large jagged purple fin-like scales with a mesh texture rise behind his head and neck, accompanied by gold scale patches across his shoulders, collarbone, chest, and forearms. Lean, muscular torso with defined abs and warm cel-shaded highlights, draped at the waist in an [orange and magenta] robe with gold floral embroidery and flowing sleeves. The vertical black instrument features gold fittings, frets, strings, and dark tassels near the headstock. Japanese-inspired fantasy anime aesthetic, clean ink linework, soft painterly cel shading, pale off-white background, thigh-up framing.
