SciFi and Fantasy Art: Morkeleb the BlackPOssibly my favorite dragon in all of fantasy literature, Morkeleb the Black, from Dragonsbane and Dragonshadow, by Barbara Hambly. I hate the airship, but Morkeleb came out well enough for me to post. This is the first picture I did using a new Prismacolor technique, which I'm really thrilled with. Colored pencils on matboard, about 11 by 17'. | |
 |  |  | | | Date | Name | Comment | | | 31 Jan 2003 |  Centhwir | I do agree with the artist what i said was out of the question but come on wouldnt it be cool to be friends with a big black dragon but that aint gonna happen. Thanks | |
| 2 Feb 2003 | Morkeleb | The dragons only disapear of this world, when all people forget us, but it is not posible, thanks of all dreamers that write historis about us.
Thanks for all Barbra.
Long life for dragos.
PD: Jheny don't forget my promise of come back... kiss | |
| 1 Apr 2003 |  Nikki Resendes | WoW! the coloring is amazing! I can't even imagine how hard that would be in black....I always found the black was hard to do....you did fantabulously  Beautiful   Grace Dawn Palmer replies: "The trick to the blacks is that I first do an underbase in blues and violets: indigo for the shadows and very light blue or lavender for the areas that border bright highlights. Then, when I start adding the black I've got some color depth - normally black makes everything very flat." | |
| 2 Apr 2003 | thegreatmaiwholikespie | ACK!!!! A scary duckie! Its a quackums!! *Hokusai, Kei, and Yuri bop Mai on the head* oww!! "its not a duckie, mai...its a dragon...i think...." Kei stated staring at the picture. "No...its a quackums!" Mai argued. *Yuri bangs her head on the tree....asking..."Why? Why are we stuck with HER??"* "Cuz, I'm a magical unicorn!" mai replies.... this is really kewl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so pretty....*wonders what the dragon would do if she tried petting it....*  Grace Dawn Palmer replies: "Hmm. Given that this is Morkeleb, he'd probably philosophically take your arm off. Might feel guilty about it later, though." | |
| 6 Sep 2003 |  Joelle Duran | I've got a weakness for black dragons...black anything, actually. He is simply gorgeous--and those eyes! Definitely not a creature to take lightly! Good work! | |
| 13 Nov 2003 | Jenny <marionette_jenn | I am an ardent fan of Morkeleb and I must say that you did a good job of representing him. I fell in love with him reading the books and I would swoon when I read how he talked to Jenny. (Yes, my real name is Jenny.) It is strange, though, because I have a boyfriend who wears glasses and is named John, also. Though that is besides the point.
You are an incredible artist. | |

The graceful and majestic qualities you assigned him definitely do him justice. | |
| 12 May 2005 |  Kristen Nicole Vincent | Absolutely beautiful dragon! I haven't read those books, but his picture makes me want to read them! You painted the shadows well and did a great job of setting the black dragon apart from the darkened sky. | |
| 23 Mar 2006 | Kimberly mattia | Cccooooooollllllllll!!!!!! Awesome dragon! The your best picture yet! I like the texture of his skin and selik design! You dragon best, keep'em up! | |
| 31 Aug 2006 | Heather | This picture is amazing, and quite possibly my favourite picture of Morkeleb out there--there aren't that many, unfourtunately. You've captured that sort've catlike quality I feel he should have, and the majesty.
And the colors are absolutely freaking gorgeous. /envy. | |
