'Amorous Dragon' - art by Nancy Farmer
This is a painting of one of those nasty moments when you realize the other individual is reading from an entirely different script!
'Amorous Dragon' - detail
People generally don't seem to consider that Dragons have feelings, too, and maybe get lonely during all those long centuries of lying about on Gold.
Actually I don't often draw dragons - it's the scales - they are such a pain and so repetitive that sitting there drawing scale after scale makes me want to scream (and I'm usually very good on intricate detail) - they are usually associated with 'high fantasy' artwork, too, whereas I'm much more into people and domestic details (albeit in a fantasy kind of setting). In fact at the time of typing this (Dec. 2007) I have done only one other dragon picture since I was quite young - that was 'Femme Fatale' (see left) - and that was in response to a request for 'more dragon cards'. Some day I may to get back to a few more dragons... but they are unlikely to be your usual sort of dragon if I do...
