Description
The brief for this commission was a close up of a sword, held by a woman, showing the reflection of a dragon in the blade. Is it quite a simple image but hopefully striking in it's design. As you will see I went a bit dragon mad with the details
Maybe she's friends with the dragon, maybe she's a dragon slayer? - I'll let the viewer decide.
Sketched in pencil and painted in Photoshop.

This is amazing! I was looking for a dragon + woman illustration and all I found were sexualized poses, half naked girls and sodomizing dragons. This, THIS is exactly the kind of inspiration I was looking for; I love her determination, the incredible details in her eyes, and the dragonΒ‘s skin is simply gorgeous.

Nice, One idea i have is, she may be a Dragon in Human Form.
I like your Dragon Art.

looks great! looks like she's letting the dragon decide whether she's a threat or not. (letting the dragon hone in on the emotion of the sword) as they say, the action of a sword is more powerful than words!

The Dragon of Legend series used this as a cover until it was changed to something else.
Love the blade ^^

She doesn't seem angry enough to slay this dragon in my eyes... just defiant. Perhaps they are friends, or at the least the dragon is a tutor, helping her in her swordplay.

Oh my goodness!!! I have this as a card album!!!! I bought it when I was thirteen and still have it, I remember screaming when I found it

Right, right, that's what I was thinking, too. The sword blade isn't a mirror, but a "lens" that shows a hidden reality!

I got an interesting "Hero and the Crown" Vibe from this. It's pretty awesome.

"Do you know me now, Old One? Do you still know my father's blade? It has tasted your blood once before, and you are marked by it. It will not go hungry a second time, now it will drink its fill. I will have my revenge!" ... And thus, epicness ensues.
