SF&F Picture 12 out of 37 by Kimberly A. Taylor.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Aeolus

Aeolus, a skydragon. Like a bird such as the swift, these dragons spend almost their entire lives on the wing, as a result their hind legs evolved into a second pair of wings. As a weight saving measure, even their spines have become soft and feather-like.

26 Apr 2008	John R Farley Jr	Loading... First comment hyperspace jump Verrry cool, I like all of it but the clouds really stand out for some reason. That’s not a critisism, it just look good. The dragon is an original concept and even his anatomy. Not your typical lizard. Kimberly A. Taylor replies: "thanks! i felt like doing something different for a change after seeing so many dragon pictures on this site. the clouds i created on the computer using different shades of the same colour and using the paintbrush tool at different transluncent settings. "
26 Apr 2008	Gwenivere Stephan	Loading... Very cool. I like the back legs winged like that. I bet it’s great at gliding on the air! Very nice work Kimberly A. Taylor replies: "thanks for your comment! yes i guess it would be great at gliding; it could fly using one pair of wings while resting the otherpair. Though i imagine it would be very cumbersome if this creature were to alight on the ground. Like the swift-the bird i was sort of inspired by, because its wings are so long and it’s legs too short it has great difficulty walking and taking off from the ground."
6 May 2008	Anca-Raluca "Nekorrim" Sandu	Loading... Multiple-winged creatures are nice in fantasy because they are mostly... unreal . Better. The wing texture is very good and clear, I think I can learn from it to do leathery wings better (all of the wings are interesting). Kimberly A. Taylor replies: "thanks, yes, thank goodness for fantasy- being more of a sci-fi fan i usually draw more ’realistic’ creatures so to speak, in this case i just wanted to draw a dragon that was slightly different. thanks for visiting! "
7 May 2008	Michael A. Rasmussen	Loading... Ooh, neat concept, and well executed! So now these guys can fly double fast and outrun dragons and gryphons and suchlike? xD Kimberly A. Taylor replies: "he, he, i guess it could, though i imagine more from stamia since it can fly almost indefinitly."
