Sacrifice or summoning? I haven't made up my mind, but I thought the title was catchy, so there you have it. Sometimes my quick sketches turn into long sketches. I plan to draw a finished version on a larger scale (the original is about 7 X 10), because it's difficult to squeeze details into so small a space. Aside from a couple of errors, I am fairly pleased with the overall effect of the sketch. Sadly, maximum size restrictions have resulted in a somewhat murky image. Graphite on paper.

wow! I love the perspective of this one. I feel scared of the height just looking on!
I do love your pencil style as I'm sure I have stated on my previous visits.
I think this is a flawless piece of work with a flawless woman. *Applauds*

Ever since i was a little girl, i have had a love for dragons. I believe that one day this piece of artwork will cost a lot of money. That is only if you put it up for auction. You have a gift for drawing, don't ever stop. Email me sometime, i would love to see more of your artwork... Nymphoangel05@yahoo.com

The lady is enchanting.

I think it looks more like a summoning, but man, that is one awesome hungry-looking dragon...

With what she has in her hand I'd say summoning (Dragons like pretty things) but by his face I'd say she looked more like a tasty lunch to him . . . so then I'd say sacrifice. Maybe it's both. Summoning for a sacrifice. ^~'

I luv the way the dragon is curled around the precipice...I think she is summoning him, with the jewel/orb thing in her hand...There is something in her hand, right?

I love this! Nice shading, and I love the story behind it... sacrifice I imagine it as, it looks like it fits into it more. =D Good job!
