I recently had the wonderful opportunity to illustrate a little story by Cecil Castellucci for Tor.com. I was honored that they came to me for a dragon and had a lot of fun with this. Painted in acrylics, colored and edited in photoshop.

Hey Kyle. Unfortunately not - the traditional version isn't really worth looking at, and it actually looks like I won't be able to make the show this year. I'm moving to Seattle next month and just can't afford the trip all the way back so soon. I am working on a new traditional dragon though and hope to get into the 2013 show :)

*Stunned by the gorgeousness of this piece* I find this perfect--the dragon is a feast for the eyes, you do the anatomy, lighting, colouring, perspective (basically everything) of it so well, it looks so tangible, so real, so full of character. I can almost hear it rumbling... Love the claw on the gargoyle <3 And the little bird on its other paw :3

The background of the piece is just icing on the cake; the sky, the landscape, the building on the right--just the right amount of detail, love the colour scheme for it, and how it contrasts against the stone grey of the castle... and of course, love the angle you drew it from.

Simply breathtaking!!!
