SciFi and Fantasy Art Chimaera by Simone G. Des Roches

'False hope, apparition of imagination' 'Delirium, deceptive illusion of the mind' (Written in an attempt at Ancient Greek along the sides... The runes simply say Chimaera). My own interpretation of the Ancient Greek part goat, lion and serpent monster surviving today as a word in the English dictionary meaning 'a mental illusion' and in biology as a group of deep water cartilagenous fishes seeming to be composed of parts from different organisms. This piece is done in pen and ink with chalk pastel.

23 Feb 2008	Pavel Kovalančík	Loading... Hello miss. Great picture but I think that Futhark name should be different (i use mostly older futhark with 24 runes) so you can use newer version. Still nice picture and effect of old paper is superb ,too. How its made? A a drawers mystery.
14 Mar 2008	Johanna Nothing	Loading... in the top right corner that’s the Dragon Language, right? From that book? I used to be able to write fluently in that but i forgot and now can only remember a few letters. God i wish i remembered it!
14 Mar 2008	Argighle Gora	Loading... Yeah... That is Dragon Script..... It says "Arem" the K symbol isn’t a dragon symbol.....
19 Jun 2008	Cool dude	Loading... on the top, thats dragon language. i learned it from a book. it says aremiq. no idea what that means.
26 Jul 2008	Amalie Fawell	Loading... pen and ink... amzing I think the "feet" and the cage hanging from its mouth are my favourite. and for the eejits who are saying its "dragon language" COME ONE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! this is comerialising for you. It was originally nordic runes and was adapeted to "dragon runes" tolkien also has a system similar to that (the angerthas) and the nerd-king paolini from eragon also has his share of runes. God peoples... btw, what type of pen do you use?
26 Jul 2008	Michael J Erbach	Loading... Very cool image. By the way, was it mirrored? I only ask because your Futhark runes at the top actually read "aremik", which is kimera backwards. I think this is a great representation of this mythical creature.
15 Nov 2008	Shelz Keast	Loading... Awsome picture, and you’ve used Ancient Greek. Yay! Can’t actually undestand what you’ve written but anyway.
24 Jul 2009	May Rosa	Loading... Lol, i get to write something on here now! (its chantelle from the white sands thing. finally made an elfwood account!) :] complete awesome. one of my favorites.
