SciFi and Fantasy Art The Flight of the Black Dragon by Henning Janssen


	It´s my old friend again, the Great Black! Here he is at full flight and as you may guess if you notice the slight red-ish glow in the dark clouds beneath his fire-lung has done some fine work indeed! Funny! I used to hate drawing dragons (all those scails!) but during the last months there is at least one dragonsketch flowing out of my pencils a day.

22 Sep 2004	Arual	Loading... Lovely Dragon. I especially like the expression on his face. As for the song mentioned above, the lyrics can be found here: http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/lucaturilli/kingsofthenordictwilight.html#2 Just scroll down a little. Pretty fun song, but cheesy.
27 Jul 2005	Emily Graham	Loading... I love the dragon but you need to do something with his hind legs; they're just dangling there like limp noodles.
28 Jul 2005	Ajder Andrei	Loading... Me again... well... in adition to what the previous coment criticks, I would add that his ings seem a bit ockword from an anatomical point of view... and his hinfquarters seem to be a bit big in relation to his chest area... my personal opinion is that the two areas shhould be equaly proportioned... well... that's about it... hope you didn't mind my bit of critick... annd keep up the great work...
3 Feb 2006	Lindsay	Loading... Hate to be a wet blanket, but I've seen better. It is a great picture, but I'm sure you'd be able to do a better job. O, and the person who left the last comment, u need to spellcheck. Like the pic, keep up the good work. Henning Janssen replies: "Somehow I still hate dragons! They just don´t seem to really work, speaking strictly anatomy. Good thing that the next dragon on the sketchboard does not have wings ... "
10 Mar 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Wow. i thought that the dragon was going to be all in black &white...cant see it that well in th dark .
4 Jun 2006	0o0_dragonqueen_0o0	Loading... Just to let you know, the wings are positioned EXACTLY right. However, it would be better if the chest were a little bigger, because your dragon isn't exactly Asian. The legs do seem to hang a little bit. But otherwise, it's great! The grainy effect is awesome, and the scales make it look real. I might want to somehow let certain parts stand out more clearly, though, because it's hard to see the face and forearms when they overlap.
22 Aug 2006	Anonymous	Loading... wow I was looking for insperation for my new band logo and your work is the best
24 Oct 2006	Frank	Loading... No matter what they say, your dragon is quite fantastic. You dont't need to follow anatomical guidances, that's the best thing fantasy drawing has, you can mix your influences to make your drawing to be just like you want it to be. about the chest, I think it's prefect... I wonder why they say it has to be bigger. Keep on this
16 Mar 2007	Anonymous	Loading... The only reason i am on this site is because our class is doing a massive sculpture of a dragon i cant wait my homework is to print a picture off a dragon of the computer and i think i have chosen this one!!!!!p.s. i am only 9!!!!
9 Nov 2008	Shirley C Lane	Loading... I LOVE THE WAY YOU COLORED THIS!
