After a few days away not looking at my drawing for my blue dnd dragon I decided to try something else. I realized I was putting all of my dragons in very similar poses, so for this one I wanted to try something totally different.
what do you think of the new sketch?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! To celebrate I thought I would share some of my fall/wintery landscapes that I have done
I hope all who celebrate have a wonderful day with friends and family, and eating copious amounts of food.

After taking a step back and mocking up a 3d model of the dragon I am back on track. I began thinking of turning this sketch into my take on the blue dnd dragon. What do you think?
here it is in a vertical format

As I added more detail to the dragon, I started to lose my way a bit. So I decided to open up Nomad Sculpt and make a quick 3d model to help me understand the perspective. I think I am back on track
the 3d model helped me get the twist of the body back, it now looks like he is in a 3d space again

More work on the color study. I really wanted to have as much information as possible when I go to paint this traditionally, so I spent some extra time really figuring out how to handle the buildings.
Now all that is left is transferring the drawing to the painting surface and start painting!

Dont worry guys, I still paint and draw dragons!
here is a little quick sketch I did, along with a more cleaned up version. I have some ideas of turning this into a full painting. What do you think?

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

Throwback thursday to this painting I did from one of my favorite books. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.
I was thrilled to get my copy of the Stormlight RPG, the artwork in the books are incredible. Cannot believe I have to wait 7 years to find out what happens next in the series
