"It's easy to believe in magic when you're young. Anything you couldn't explain was magic then. It didn't matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible - elves probably more so." ~Charles de Lint

Winner of the Dragumon Art Contest!
Isn't this great!
Philip Bartles was the only one up to my challenge, and I think he did a wonderful job. I love the energy coming off the staff, love the texture of the scales with the smooth yet reflective quality. The talons are wicked and I definitely would not want them slicing into me. The best part is the head is moving in the right direction. More dog like and less snake like.
Great job!
Philip will be getting a signed copy of The Magic Wakes in the mail, and when I finish the Dragumon novella he will get a copy of it.
I actually get more excited about this picture every time I look at it!

Can I just say AWESOME. So glad someone took this on and did such a wonderful job. Philip you are definitely deserving of the win.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And I agree with you on all accounts.
DeleteHi Charity! Yeah, I love that picture, and hope that it inspires you and helps attract readers to your writing. Well done Phil!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done much on my drawing stuff since February, but probably I'll have lots of time to do it later this summer, when I'm back from New Hampshire and burned out on writing. ;)
LOL, isn't it great how we turn to our other interests only when we get burned out on writing?
DeleteCongratulations, Philip! Dig the skin texture.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What an artist! I love the detail in the texture of the skin. The blue aura coming from the staff is great!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Phillip. Nice job - wicked claws.
ReplyDeleteNice picture.

I'd like to thank Charity for the opportunity to do this artwork. It really made me stretch my vision a bit to merge all the different parts together. It was a lot of fun to do! Phil
ReplyDeleteStretching is good! I've put your signed copy of The Magic Wakes in the mail. If you don't get it by next week let me know.
