SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dying Soldier and Dragon

this was created summer 2000 (I think). Can he still raise his sword, and fight the dragon? or is the brave knight not willing any more resisting... you would not either, if you are wounded that mortally, you just want to die in peace... I have studied a book on drawing dragons before. (I hope you notice..:)..)

I bet you didn't want to hear from me again! LOL. Yes, I can tell you studied a book on dragons. I should know because I never studied dragon books. (That's why there aren't any in my gallery) The detail in this one is great. You even took the time to do the scale mail sleeves in the armor. That ~is~ scale mail, right? You conveyed the weakness and death surrounding the soldier really well. The way he's holding the sword definately looks like he isn't able to pick it up anymore to continue the fight. Good work.
2 I ~wanted~ you to feel the near of the end! ;>. Janice, I am really happy to hear from you!, and about his sleeves: quite similar: it is supposed to be chain mail. 2

Excelent detail! I love the dragon. Mine never come out looking that cool. Only thing I think it perhaps it could be a little darker. The knight especially loses a lot of detail with it being so light.

Nice one. The dragon looks realy good, I would like to see the whole of it someday. Maybe there should be some blood on the warrior, now it only looks as if he is resting or something. ("Is he dead, mommy?" 'No honey, the man is asleep')

This is an iteresting piece of work because it shows you that the dragon has one intention an one only. To kill and rid of the man or as the dragon would think to rid of the slayer.
