SciFi and Fantasy Art Encounter III (second take) by Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel)

Before 1998 - Pencil drawing - 44cm x 31cm

This one is my (and not only my) absolute favorite of the small 'encounter-series'. It is a scene out of a role playing game I was leading once, and I painted it for the player of the knight that found the wounded dragon. It was a really touching scene at that time and I think I managed to catch a bit of this feeling we all had in this picture. Actually some people liked it so muched that they asked me to draw a copy for them, they even payed me for that!

Update: I recently uploaded a picture of the second version instead of the original since the contrast is better and I have a photo without reflections.

25 Aug 2004	Jessica 'Jeste' Schreib	Loading... awww... he's so cute! (i have to add that i find the oddest things cute) No but seriously, the way the dragons curled up there, its just... i want to shoo the knight away and tell him to leave alone the dragon. He's most probably having wonderful dragony dreams. Anyways wonderful picture! Keep it up Take care Jeste. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, don' worry, they did not slay that dragon. They actually made friends with him. And even though the dragon was badly hurt he protected the knight against the "bad" dragon that returned to resume the fight between the two mighty rivals. "

12 Oct 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Oh. The poor thing....It makes me sad you did a realy good job though, but im still sad. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Well, it's quite a sad view, isn't it? The role playing game scene this picture is based on was really touching, too. "
13 Oct 2005	Athiena	Loading... Very good picture. A little scratchy around the face. was it sleeping or waiting for the knight. Otherwise very nice Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Neither nor. Actually it was lying in the forest to die. It crashed there after an in-flight fight with another dragon (which was also responsible for all the scratches and bruises) and the knight found it. The young dragon had just enough strength left to give the knight a hint for his quest and to protect the human as a last noble deed during the final attack from the fierce adult dragon circling above the forest. "
26 Apr 2006	Dying Messenger	Loading... This is really cute. I'd expect to see it whilst driving through the mountains up where I live. Just looking through the trees and seeing this giant slumbering dragon in a mess of broken trees and debris. I love it! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "The poor dragon isn't slumbering. He's hurt, since he was cast out of the sky by a stronger and older rival. "
28 Dec 2008	Sherri L. White	Loading... You’re breaking my heart ... maybe the knight knows a sorcerer that could help heal the big guy !!!
