Artist's Comments

What more could be said beyond the title. This was a fairly straightforward high fantasy commission for :devklljatt: featuring characters of his design and some dragons of my own (I like to call them Bonedragons... I'm just not happy unless I have bones somewhere ;) ).

It was a long time in the making. A lot of time not only went into the weapon and character design, but when it came down to actually making the painting, it sucked way more resources then i ever thought it would.

This would have to be the largest gouache or watercolor painting that I have done. That mixed with the level of detail requested in regards to not only the characters but their surroundings as well (usually the characters themselves will take up a bit more space and the surroundings not be as detailed) ended up really being taxing on the time. In this piece, i believe I stretched the gouache and watercolor medium as far as I could and, in retrospect, it would have been much easer and quicker to do one of this size and complexity in oils, but then again, knowing me, I would have only complected that even further :roll:

I think THIS is my fav pic of yours. I love dragons and a "D&D" concept pic.

Great job!
