Panel 1. A large, anthropomorphic red dragon, dressed in a suit and tie, lies on the couch in the office of a small, anthropomorphic unicorn therapist. The therapist sits in a chair, listening to the dragon. The décor is cosy and the dragon is making large, angry gestures while the unicorn listens attentively and stoically with his notepad on his lap.  
Dragon:  I mean, I don't get it. I'm a billionaire, I own the press... So why doesn't everyone like me?
Panel 2. The unicorn therapist launches into a possible explanation, surprising the dragon.  
Unicorn Therapist: Maybe it's because everything about you is anger, control, deceit, and intimidation?
Panel 3. The dragon looks shocked and angry with the unicorn, who is unfortunately too focused on his notepad to see the dragon's reaction.  
Unicorn Therapist: In our jargon, we call that being a toxic little piece of...
Panel 4. The small unicorn sits alone in his office, which is now burnt and blackened, suggesting it was ravaged by a torrent of flames from the Dragon patient.  
Unicorn Therapist: Note to self: try a softer approach next time. (in small) and buy an extinguisher.

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
