SF&F Picture 55 out of 56 by Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel).

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dragon Study: Yakarm

January 2004 - Pencil drawing - 65cm x 38cm

The birthday-gift for my sister. It's a copy from an oil painting I'm working on since spring last year. The original is not finished yet and will still take a long time until it is. But she liked the dragon so much that I just drew him for her.
Yakarm is the dragonlord of Meyelor (the planet where my story takes place) and the father of Niknik. In this drawing he is too smooth though. I didn't have the patience nor the time for scales. And packing it into a reasonable size did make it even smoother by destroying all pencil structures.

1 Apr 2004	Danny	Loading... Absolutely magnificent! I can never do perspective like that! I'd wish you luck on your drawing, but it's obvious that your skill far surpasses the need for it. Esther S.

30 Apr 2004	Heather Clever (aka: Hawks)	Loading... Ah, finally I see the entire body of the famous Yakarm. He hides himself on my wall. ;-D I like the smooth look. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Haha! I hope soon I'll be able to show you the whole picture this drawing originates from. It will turn out great! At least I hope so at the moment! ;-)"
13 Oct 2005	MacKenzie	Loading... I love this... I especially love how, with the lighting... The wings seem to fade into the paper...like it goes on forever Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Interesting. I've never seen it that way, since I always have the original painting in mind, where the wings are contrasted by the night sky. Really, that's a very interesting idea ... "
