Nasty, undead dragon is rising. Anatomy is not right because when I made this I mostly thought what would look good.

Mostly colored pencils, backround with watercolours

It's funny but even in fantasy, moving skeletons is extremely juvenile and unbelievable in the slightest, no offence but how can a skeleton move with no sensory or motor neurons of the brain and muscle and sinew tissue.
The only way it could be believed was if a puppet wizard or some sort was to have a magical control over the targets bones.

first of all. please take no offense to some people who just want to nag, But i was wanting to say that i love this pic, the skull is the best ive seen in a long time. Please keep it up and i cant wait to see more.

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "Offense? Blah, let people say what they got to say... But thanks for you comment and encouragement!"

Mmm... lovely! I love undead dragons, dracoliches and decaying dragons in general. The amount of detail that has to go into such pictures is always astounding. Dragon skeletons are awesome! And your's is no exception! Beautifully done. The spine is simply amazing! Well done!

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "Thank you! I like this one too (though it's not a masterpiece, and its very old ...but a relatively good picture anyway). Still, I'm not going to draw many skeletons in the future. They definately aren't my favourite subject. "

Out of all I've seen here, this one has to be my favorite, you we going for what looked good and you got it. There's only one thing that rubs me the wrong way, the legs look like they somehow aren't right, but it still looks awesome. Keep up your awesome work.

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "I'm happy if the legs are the ONLY thing that look bad. This is a very old image. Thanks for your comment. "

Who cares about the anathomy? The bony texture is wonderful! It doesn't have to be askeleton, it can still keep fleshy parts for legs and such.

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "Yes, especially when fleshy parts are easier to draw than actual bones 12"
