Description
"There was time between the waning age of enchantment and the dawning age of logic when dragons flew the skies, free and unencumbered. Look down there Gorbash, my friend. On the top of the earth below us, confusion and chaos reign. All mankind is facing an epic choice: a world of magic or a world of science. Which will it be?"This dragon is copied from the title page of the book 'The Flight of Dragons' by Peter Dickinson, which is a book that tries to prove how dragons could have exsisted. The book was illustrated by Wayne Anderson (see his initials in the tail).
There is an 80's movie of the same title, the main character is Peter Dickinson, the books author. "Sir Peter"'s character, merges with a young dragon by the name of Gorbash (As when he hatched, the battle before hand was a bit gory and the knight which found him got a bit bashed up). I think this picture is what the animators based Gorbash on ... monstermovies.wikia.com/wiki/G… see!
Took stupidly long but I didn't want to rush this. Watercolour on paper.

I love Rankin Bass's fantasy films. Your Gorbash is beautiful! Looks like something out of an old medieval painting!!

Thanks! You know the book in the movie? You can get that book (it is actually by Peter Dickinson😆) and this Gorbash is copied out of that book!

I've heard of the book. I know the movie is based off of two different books. It's a shame they don't make stuff like that anymore.

I love dragons! I really like all the details with the scales. Also, if you like the story from the movie it was taken from Gordon R. Dickson's "The Dragon and the George."
