Description A gift for my soulsis, (aka "Aisling the Dream Dragoness"), and her mate Jonny (aka "Nameless the Illusion Dragon"), along with a raven clutching their wedding rings as well as a symbolic sun, moon and eclipse. I bought this nifty parchment stationary the other day and just had to try drawing something monochrome and ancient-looking on it (being that I'm heavily inspired by Brian Froud), plus I've really been wanting to draw Aisling's lovely new dragonform ever since she adopted it. (And sis, I took a bit of artistic license on Jonny's char; I know his neck isn't supposed to be that long, but I wanted you two to be roughly symmetrical.)

Edit: Added a huge watermark to this, as it seems to be a very popular image to steal, repost on Photobucket, and/or make prints of, to have made into tattoos, or to print on various products (cross-stitch designs, clothing , etc.) to sell on the Net or wherever. The ONLY company that I have given permission to use this image as a logo is DragonHeart Thailand (on their boat, clothing, brochures, websites and promotional videos), so if you see it posted/being used anywhere else, please tell me! And thanks SO MUCH to all of you who have been keeping their eyes open for me regarding theft of my work!!

I was working on a pair of dragons in a similar pose as a graphic for the hood of my car.

Oh my! That is so beautiful.... It truly is. The dragons look so sweet together. Ah..

This is very beautiful, and has a lot of meaning behind it. I'm going to have to commission you one of these days to draw something for me. I love the knotwork. I can't draw lines to save my life, as much as I have tried on practice sheets to do knotwork.

Ligoniel [2005-02-26 20:11:36 +0000 UTC]

It's lovely... has a very Celtic feel to it.

A suggestion, though. Unless I'm very much mistaken, one is meant to be female... So an emphasis of that would have been nice.

Either way, whether you think I'm right or not, I'm adding this to my favourites.

swandog In reply to Ligoniel [2005-03-12 17:34:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The one om the right is the female, and she has a bit of a slimmer build than the male. I just used her ref sheet here: [link]

It's soft, delicate, whimsical, the colours and tones are amazing, and the design itself is just a masterpiece. Just beautiful.
