SciFi and Fantasy Art Cold Drake by Jonathan W. Horne


	Ah yes! My previous exploits into paleontology have not been in vain! An attempt at one of Tolkien's Cold Drakes( fire-less dragons). Done with pencil about 3 weeks ago during OT class.

16 Dec 2003	Anonymous	Loading... I'll preface this by saying I couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag... But for what it's worth, I think the drake is awesome. I also agree with your assessment on size; any dragon or drake in Tolkien, that I've come across (and there aren't many writtn of), is as big as it is evil. I love the downward curving horns. I never imagined it that way until I saw this. Very cool! Jonathan W. Horne replies: "Thanks for the comment! I just expiramented with different things to try and remove some of its dinosaurian characteristics! I also like the horns!"
21 Dec 2003	Charlie K	Loading... Very cool. I don't like his chances...... Jonathan W. Horne replies: "Neither do I! Thanks for the comments!"
3 Jan 2004	Tackle Dummy Ken glitch192@yah	Loading... I really like this one... Probably becuase I have such a feakin' hard time with my own dragon designs... Jonathan W. Horne replies: "Ken what are you talking about? your dragon made mine want to tuck its tail beneath its legs in shame! lol! Thanks for the comment!"
16 Feb 2004	Louisa 'Morathi' Howser	Loading... Hey Jonathan! Long time no see Anywho just wanted to let you know that this drawing is rockin, very good. Keep drawing and smiling. Miss you. Jonathan W. Horne replies: "thanks Nancy! I'll probably see you over spring break! You better upload some new stuff "
21 Jan 2005	Christina Marie Retailliau	Loading... very cool! (I know it's been said already, but that's my honest opinion) This has got to be my favorite out of your gallery. It does remind me of dinosaur sketches, it's even got the little man for reference - although most others wouldn't be wielding swords, but that's besides the point. I guess what I love most is how the drake looks like it could start moving at any moment. Yes, very cool.
