Description
Well I know it's been a while since I've uploaded anything here. I've been having some trouble digitizing my large painting work from second semester and am finally trying my hand at photographing my own work...I know it's not ideal, but bear with me. This is a huge fully-oil painting (20"x30") that I actually did around Thanksgiving of last year. It was intended to be a book-cover format for the Dragonriders of Pern series, a personal favorite of mine. I had the honor of meeting Todd and Anne McCaffrey in California a while back, and Todd and I had had a discussion about how the Pern dragons were originally intended to be more bovine than reptilian in structure. I did this with that comment in mind.Related content

Wow on the coloring! And you make it really feel alive. I never quite got the hang of oils myself.

This is really awesome! I love the coloring and lighting, and the perspective is really great. And that background is simply marvellous!
I'm a huge Pern fan and it's dominated my artwork
It's always great to see other people's interpretations! I'd never heard of the bovine part though, from interviews I'd read that they were supposed to be equine in structure. But regardless of how "accurate" it is, it's still a fantastic painting!

about time too, I was wondering when would I start drooling again. And you just made me stop wondering. Now all I gotta figure out is figure out how to stop drooling.

Beautiful oil painting! 20x30? That is huge! But this is really great! I love the details of the dragons muscles and the perspective, colors, and setting. I definately love how you did the two moons. The fire is really great as well.

Wow! You obviously took the comment to heart because you can see the definite different structure in the dragon's face. That looks really great.
The fire is really impressive, too! One of my friends had a lot of trouble painting fire with oil paint - astounding!
