Description No, not the vampire kind of slayer. Sorry Buffy fans.

This is digital over pencil. The pencils didn't have any background, but once it was all painted it didn't really look right without one. It took a while to settle on a light cloudscape and border. Hope it looks okay!

Comments and Critique appreciated, as always.

Would it be possible to order a print of this?

I'm working on a similar concept except she's a girl with a lightning blade type.
I love the details in your rendering, possibly because it's done over pencil which is a great method btw.

Dear Lizzy-John,

The picture is gorgeous, a piece of art. In fact, it looks like the Saint George - Patron Saint of Scouting.

Therefore, would you not mind to use this picture as a non comercial poster to promote our Scouts' Day? It means a lot for us. I would be so so thankful.

Thank you

I can't look at this without wondering... how did he manage to stab the dragon in the sky? And how does the slayer plan on landing in a fashion that won't kill him?

This is a really wonderful art. The colours and the scales, the armor! Fantastic.    
But I do hope, he sprouts some wings, or the impact will hurt..

Versipelles [2013-01-24 09:36:24 +0000 UTC]

See, this is what fantasy art should be about. Despite the violence of the theme, the somewhat muted colors give a very lyrical feeling to this picture. The transition from the white, to the red, to the green gives a wonderful sens of depth. There's almost an arabesque feeling in all the complications of curves, but the diagonal thrust of the lance, the torso and abdomen of the dragon, and the thigh and calf of the knight, give a nice overall unity of movement, nicely counterpoised by the secondary diagonals of the neck and train. Excellent.

Very Good design! Reminds me a little of the story of "St. George" ... The dragon was pretty cool and very good wings.
The warrior armor then perfect. Especially the inner parts and flexible. Their colors are also very beautiful.
Now the question that remains: How does he plan to arrive alive to the ground now that the dragon died in mid-flight? KKKKK

hungerartist [2012-12-11 08:24:56 +0000 UTC]

Lizzy, it's amazing to see how your work has progressed! Loving these new pieces and so glad to see you back on DA. I think the cloudscape and border are highly successful...the design of the dragon is delightfully vintage, and the colors and presentation seem to nod at artists like Durer, or Rackham, or Jon Foster. However, the attention to realistic lighting and space makes it totally fresh and uniquely you...hope to see more soon!
