This is another art-trade thing. Varc is a character created and designed by EW artist Patrick Tabor.

She's an adolescent dragon-girl, the last of an ancient race I believe. Eventually, she'll get a lot bigger and sprout wings, but for the moment she's just a scrappy little thief.

This is kind of a sloppy colour job, but it kind of does the trick. I may get this to a 'finished' stage at some point, but then I always say that about all my work, and it never gets done. :)

Man i can't belive this has only gotten one comment ?!?!?
Firstly its got brighjt colors {fairly rare on your site , yay brightness } outfit rocksa very much , tho the megacool baggy pants and big stomping shoes make the picture seem bottom heavy if that makes much sense { im chalking it up to the fact that she must have powerfull leaping legs 2
the pose is pretty keen like she's telling the rest of her adventuring buddies to hold back why she fights the octopirate corsairs also love that she's ielding a sheathed sword {this way she can fling the sheath square between the baddies eyes before cleaving him up 2

all in all a very keen pic and one o my favorites

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "I think the bottom-heaviness is a combination of emphasizing her large, crazy boots (a feature of Pat Tabor's original version), and my own tendency to draw things from a slightly low angle. My camera-work is the same way. I LOVE low angle shots. 2 I like your take on the pose. And you're right. I need more colour. Dang... I don't know how you do it, man! You colour everything! 2"

If I was slightly more primitive than I actually am, I would be drooling over those shoes. In a word... no wait... I need a big string of words to say how groovy this pic is... though I think I'll spare you the drama for now...

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Yay! Drama! I love drama! 12"

Hey Dude, The Pic is Super Cool and the character should definatly be included in the next movie about the Hobbits. I hope to see more of your work and also feel sure someone will pick up on and sends more work your way! This web site is cool also. Later, Big E.......

Very cool, although watch your center of balance, she'd fall over in this pic

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Well then, it's a good thing that her arms are flung back in a dynamic flourish. Remember, bodies in motion don't have to follow the "straight vertical line" rule. Also, you fail to take into consideration that there's a tail there, which also serves to shift balance, gravitationally, as well as visually. Booyah! 2"
