SF&F Picture 8 out of 16 by Mik Wilkens.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Jabberwock

I drew this picture years ago for a required college art course (one of only two art classes I've taken -- can't stand the things). We had to draw a picture using a style we didn't normally use. For inspiration, we were given several poems to choose from. One of my favorite poems of all time was there: 'Jabberwock' by Lewis Carroll. I decided to portray the beast as a dragon, and this is what I got...

7 Nov 2000	TC Gail	Loading... The voraple blade went snicker-snack... I did get that right, didn't I? Good pic. I think that it is a good pic, baby dragon or no
8 May 2001	Celesta^^^^	Loading... mistake...when i said "he might have based it on a draggie" i was reffering to the artist, sorry...i do now believe that he is a SHE....whoops...boy do i feel stupid! "LOOK AT THE NAME BEFORE U COMMENT,CELESTA!! DUH!" i'm seriously sorry...just didn't look!
8 May 2001	Celesta	Loading... People....sorry for this incovience...but ....THIS IS NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT A DRAGON!!!!! it's called a Jabberwock...and it's from L. Carroll's mind...and L. CArroll is a genious <sp? and I believe that the title of the poem was spelled "JABBERWOCKY" there's an y at the end..great piccy...but it's just a tad too bright for a scene such as this...though the jabberwocky is kinda neat...NO IT"S NOT A BABY/ADULT DRAGON! all u dragon protectors out there can just leave the building cuz this isn't a dragon! he might have BASED it on a dragon, but tis not a draggie...Thank you all very much, i will go now.... P.S.--and that poem is very very REAL!! j/k. (do i have problems?...yes.)

20 Jun 2001	Rebeccawolf Silverfur <rkr42@uls...net>	Loading... Umm. Mr.Ja'kall...that is a JABBERWOCK(y?), not a DRAGON. Hmph. Tells you something about humanity. Oh yes...I've just officially become attached to that poem
9 Oct 2001	Mr_Malkavian	Loading... grins, thinking that poem is where d&d got vorpal swords from
20 Feb 2002	Jess Davis	Loading... I just read this poem earlier today, coincidentally enough. The poem is very deranged and has an air of mysticism about it. I picture such a creature to be more surreal than what has been depicted. This is very definate and visible. Mind you, it was inspired by the poem and is not really depicting it. It's a great picture as a whole. Beware the Bandersnatch.
20 Jul 2002	Bloodthirsty barbarian	Loading... Jabberwock was written by TOLKIEN!!! Sorry, I hoplessly addicted to Tolkien
14 Feb 2007	Anonymous	Loading... If you love Tolkien then you should know it's not by him. The Drawing is very clean and really captures the "snicker snack"
