Dragon Update

I am still working on this dragon. I had some help from my friends on Fantasy and Sci Fi Artists Support, and this is what I have come up with so fair. I think the wings need to be larger! The dragon is partly built on horse and raptor anatomy. 









Beside painting dragons I am enjoying my holidays with a new book I had for Christmas with illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

  3. Heey Marianne! =)

    Good work on your dragon! =) I like the colours, they are different and quirky! =) One or two things, maybe paint on a neutral background, imho I find it easier to paint values on something other than white.. jus a suggestion mind =) Other thing is to find even a pose for dragons as well, for example strong leg pose and then arms going in slightly different directions. =) Hope that helps =) You are doing awesome! =)

    Have a fantastic 2012 and good luck with everything, you can do it! =)

  4. Happy New Year to all! This is just a sketch to get the feel of dragons. I am going to do a new one for a painting for the Enchanted Visions dragon theme, but I needed to check up on the anatomy first. This dragon is built on a horse for the hind-legs, but I think I will make a new dragon based on the anatomy of a Tyrannosaurus rex. This dragon would have serious problems walking. It needs to be tilted more forward, and it needs stronger hind legs.
