Description
Following a short-lived fad for pet dragons in the Year of the Withered Turnip, and the inevitable injuries and attendant property damage, dragon breeders set out to create a docile domestic lap-dragon. Unfortunately, reckless inbreeding for the desireable traits of placid temper and a diet other than raw meat resulted in low fertility, while failing to deliver the dragon-breeder's Holy Grail of a dwarf lap-dragon. Extensive trapping of wild dragons to improve the strain led to the extinction of wild dragons by the Year of the Gibbering Chipmunk, while domestic dragons grew increasingly fat, sedentary, and omnivorous (although the fertility problem had been fixed entirely too well.) In the end, the dream of lap-dragons was abandoned, and dragons found a new niche as garbage disposals, eating virtually every form of organic trash and converting it to high grade fertilizer. Attempts by the well-meaning to coax the morbidly obese and slothful dragons into a healthier lifestyle revealed that in fact, dragons were perfectly content to sleep twenty-three hours a day and have their food delivered, and had a regrettable tendency to convert anyone attempting to alter their lifestyle into mulch by the most direct route.Related content

Sweet... nice picture and story. The story reminds me of Terry Pratchet's book, "Guards! Guards!" and the story of the little dragon.
The colour and texture of the skin is great, although it doesn't look scaly. Only the mid-opened eye seems to need some work, defining the iris more and making it a bit more bright.
Btw... I don't want to imagine this little fellow burping or farting... it could be really dangerous
Nice job!

"Great Drawing - I love the expression on his face so sad in a kind of quirky way. Your use of muted colours is simply accomplished - need I say more..........

It's a fat, amorphous, butt-ugly dragon, but it's a happy dragon. I love the little wings. Great use of textures and colors in this one. Traces of blue in the orange? Cool. People tend to keep hues consistant when doing art - guilty myself - but this picture proves that better results can be used by using different colors other than your main one. Very nice, and very... uh... cute... or something.

Hahahha... That's great, man! While I was reading it and looking at the pic, I figured you were going more for an imbred mutant / dragon trailer trash type angle, but that's grand. Extremely well drawn picture, too. Year of the Gibbering Chipmunk... that's kinda the equivalent of the Year of George W Bush, isn't it?
