SF&F Picture 20 out of 37 by Jennifer Anne Sabado.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Bug Off.

Since most of what I have up are smaller, more mammal-faced neodragons, I thought I'd draw a classical-type dragon for comparison. In my world they're not much larger (about the size of a savannah elephant, as compared to a bush elephant), still have wings, and have the throat pouch of a breath-attacking dragon. This one seems to have an untoward interest in poor Mkiluwa, which she doesn't seem to return.

Horns of a greater kudu, throat pouch based off an anole lizard's display flap, skull like an early carnosaur, and wings that are a combination of pterosaur and bat (if you were wondering about the wierd structure). Who *says* a good grounding in biology isn't a necessity for good fantasy art?

I also like flat-shading. A lot. Even if it is incredibly painful in Paint.

21 Mar 2001	AL-isha	Loading... Do Do Do i seem to have wondered back here... and GASP i have forgotten how to leave that thinger linking to my page.. but OH WELL! Anyways, ... I do LOVE (love love love love love) the FLAT colors..(they are hard to get! VERY!) but.. i'm not too fond of the dragon..(the "true" one..?) .. but that's just cause that's not the way i draw mine.. He's good... and the anatomy looks MMMK... but... i never thought they'd have 'neck frills' (that's what i call 'em cause i haff lizards.. eh...)I think the wing Structure is FIIIINE but i dun like the horns.. (If dragons were dragons, why would they have the body parts of living day-animals? .. maybe it's just me.) Loverly.
16 Aug 2001	Laura Chatterton 'Lysanth'	Loading... You are right about the effectiveness of creating fantasy creatures with a base in reality, some of my best dragons have been drawn with real reptillian characteristics - and your dragons are so cute expressive -- Laura
19 Jul 2002	Anonymous	Loading... I think your dragons are kewl looking. I thought the comment from AL-isha was rather rude and ignorant. why wouldn't a dragon have the anatomy of creatures today? REALITY CHECK, DRAGONS ARE MYTH!! Don't let anyone criticize your work because everyone has different opinions and I, personally, like to keep an open mind to new ideas. I think your drawings are great.
2 Oct 2002	Cynthea Halcyone Cotton	Loading... wow! I loved the fact that you put some biology into your pictures! and the green dragon has amazing colors! so does the other one for that matter....... anyways, I randomed here and I'm glad I did, cute pic!
26 Feb 2003	Dakota	Loading... I love your art expecialy because i love dragons. Keep your talent up.
19 Jul 2003	Jenni	Loading... I love the Bongo-colored dragon! One thing that sticks out to me though, the horns on the classic dragon look more like Eland horns than Kudu horns, though you stated that they were Greater Kudu horns. Eland have spiralled horns like Kudu, but their's are closely spiralled, like in your picture, while Kudu horns are openly spiralled in more of a corkscrew shape. Ee, sorry.
