Once a magnificent and strong beast, but now reduced to a torn and bloody corpse-to-be, his soul shattered completely as he sits curled in a pool of his own blood... I was feeling weird.... And somewhat predatory... This dragon and image are © Zara Gillespie 2002

I've been in that mood far to often... drawing suffering things, or sometimes dead.
This is a really interesting and beautiful picture.
If you want to play more with it, you could draw all the blood red,
that's what I often do, but it is already very good, and that red migth just spoil it all.

:-) Zara Gillespie (Sapphire Phoenix) replies: "I thought about adding red by hand, but I reckon it would maybe spoil it... I was going to add some via computer, but I feel that unless I inked it, half the detail would be lost.. :/ But thank you very much ^_^"

Poor guy. I love it though! I really like emotional pictures like this, and it's done so well! Nice! Can I hug him? I really think he needs one.

:-) Zara Gillespie (Sapphire Phoenix) replies: "*chuckles* I'm not responsible if he bites! And to be honest, this was my first try at drawing bare muscles and bones, and that amount of blood.. ^_^ Thank you.."

Wow!Thats an awesome picture......very depressing but awesome.And if this was your first attempt at drawing bare muscles and bones the is excellent!I was just wondering about the left arm, has it been torn off?Cause I can see the bone and muscle and stuff.

:-) Zara Gillespie (Sapphire Phoenix) replies: "Left arm has been torn off, yes, along with both of his wings... Thank you very much for your comment!"

Can't we do something to save him????
*sigh* It really is a sad picture.. but that's a testament to you as an artist that you're able to bring forth such emotion. Excellent work, Zara!!
