Description It´s finished! GotG is the main reason why I wasn´t posting new art for some time (it took 3 weeks, maybe about 30 hours). This is the illustration for my very first (and last) poem called "Guards of the Gate" which should have a place in our Czech short-story book The Shadows of Wings written by many members of our draci.info community. It´s written only in Czech but for you - it is about two Dragons guarding the magic Gate to the land of fantasy. Uninvited intruder want to go through and destroy all dreams, magic and fantasy because he doesn´t understand them . At the end of this story, he is burned by Dragons which is why the fantasy stayed with us... The poem is very symbolic for me, but not high-quality ( I am not a poet : )

I drew an illustration with the same theme in 2005 www.draci.info/users/pics/view… but I wanted to draw new one, better

Pencils 3B 4B 5B

Original is now FOR SALE and I also offer postcards .

hmmm vic detailu nez predtim.. vetsi draci nez predtim.. ale nemuzu si pomoct ale ta starsi verze se me libi proste vic je vic pohadkovejsi klidnejsi tady ti draci spis zavodi o drsnost ikdyz ona basen sama o tom vypravi tady uz se to pomalu chyli k jiste temnote.. i trosku desive (prichazejici stin prez mustek mezi ostny) a trosku puste (popraskana zem hole skaly buhvi co za branou ceka).. trosku me ta brana prijde jen jako oploceni.. dlouho jsem premyslela jak by se mohla asi otevirat.. kazdopadne pusobi vic dracsky nez ta predchozi.. ikdyz bych vic zapojila draky na sloupech do te brany ale to uz je jen otazka vkusu oka tot me prvni dojmy rozhodne to je uplne jiny obrazek nez ten starsi a oba maji svoje kouzlo

Na me je stara verze moc svetla a malo detailni...proste moje stara technika : ) Ale je to zase o necem jinem, i ten celkovy pohled je brany z uplne jineho uhlu. Draky jsem akorat pouzila v brane, krome lebky by se mely v mrizovi rysovat draci kridla, ale to asi dost zaniklo :/ I kdyz to tak asi nevypada, tak brana ma promysleny mechanismus aby byla funkcni - prava cast (z pohledu pozorovatele) je svrchni, otvira se prvni smerem k vetrelci. Ale je to brana magicka takze nema zadny zamek, ale musi nejprve "vyjet" nahoru ze zeme, aby se vubec dala otevrit

wow, tak tohle je vskutku parádní. Nejvíc se mi asi líbí samotní draci a jejich šupiny, brána a obrovský obdiv si zaslouží perspektiva a krásné provedení kamínků i skrze bránu. A ta člověčí silueta je dobrá... snad bych vytkla jen to, že drakovi vpravo není vidět kus blány na pravém křídle (z jeho pohledu) ze spodní strany...ale jinak opravdu nestačím koukat...

Moc pěkný. Ale otázkou je, co z toho udělá ten knihtisk? Ti draci jsou dost detailní a při zmenšení možná příliš splynou (hlavně ten vlevo) s tím pozadím.
