SciFi and Fantasy Art ´00 Explorer by Polenth Blake

A little purple dragon explores an old temple. Originally this was just going to be a picture of the corridor, but somehow the dragon snuck in there to peer at the symbols on the wall. This was a mod's choice on 27th December 2003.

In answer to some common questions: The symbols did take a long time. They're inspired by a lot of things. Various mythical animal, real animals, one AD&D critter, and so forth. The coloured symbols between the pictures are based on the forms found in Asian picture writing, but not closely enough to mean anything. [2000 - Ink, Pencils, Watercolour Pencils]

[Edit: June 2006 - Removed the crack on the ceiling in Corel Photopaint.]

11 Apr 2006	Brian L. Husted	Loading... Nice work, I love the hieroglyphics, very imaginative.
12 Apr 2006	Zuya Zarei	Loading... I love the use of perspective in this one. Very simple, but extremely well applied. Kudos to your patience. Each of those little heiroglyphs is like doing a separate piece.
28 May 2006	Marcus W. Ager	Loading... Awesome, well deserving of mods. I like how it's almost hypnotic (at least for me 0.o). Oh, and I found the AD&D critter <Points to beholder> ^^.
15 Jul 2006	Hannah 'werewolf' Louise - Crawford	Loading... lol i've seen this pic before, i can't rember when though, but none-the-less this is a quility picture. It's a really cool corridor effect, and the dragon is really cool. When i first looked at it it was like a confusing illusion, lol which was a fun feeling.
16 Jul 2006	Adele Hudson	Loading... Just wanted to thank you for commenting on my gallery. I hoped maybe I would get some inspiration of backgrounds from your gallery. This one expecially caught my eye. I like the perspective and the sence of wonder and lost-ness (?) on the dragon's face. Must have taken a lot of time and patience to get it right. A well deserved mods! Thanks again x
2 Oct 2006	Anne Wipf	Loading... The paintings on the walls are so realistic : it really looks like pharaonics tombs. Good work.
12 Dec 2006	Heidi Hecht	Loading... Cool. I like the symbols, they do look sort of Egyptian. It doesn't look like age has set in yet. Nice job.
8 May 2008	Anna	Loading... Wow great detail. I felt like i was in the picture and I was like, Where am i again? Congrats on the mods.
29 Aug 2008	Jordan "Nadroj" Galeles	Loading... I like the dragon best... AD&D? Unsure what that means, but it took a lot of work to do this pic and its well deserved mods choice!
29 Aug 2008	Rachael A. Kenny	Loading... wow this pic is awesome! I love everything about it
