Acid

This is a creature I designed as part of a challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt "Deaf, Blind, Acid Spitter." The idea I had about the creature is that it really wasn't blind despite not having eyes. The spikes on its head are hollow and function similar to antennas, such that they can pick up vibrations. The creature is able to sense the vibrations around it and actually have a very good sense of its surroundings. This creature is not actually too large, but is extremely fast and dangerous. Its sharp teeth and claws can shred flesh instantly, and the acid spewing, spike covered bulge on the tip of its tail is a weapon able to crush hard targets and inflict acid and deadly toxins into the bloodstream.

This started as a pencil drawing in 2011, which was then painted over. This was also a pivotal drawing for me, as it caused me to leave the CG Society website. This website was a great resource, but as I went to post this article into my profile it was not allowed because of of the admins there was a royal cnt and had it out for me. Rather than try to seek clarificaiton I just left the website and never looked back. I did see the entire portal went down recently, hope the worst for that admin. For anyone who was around that website, you can probably guess who I'm talking about.

Tree Dragon

Done sometime in 2009, as part of a COW #154 (Creature of the Week) challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt of "Hanging Upside Down." This was all painted in Photoshop.

Naga

This started as a really cool ink sketch. However, it scanned horribly, there's something about the ink which reflects during the scan process and makes the entire image look bad. I actually made this drawing sometime in 2023 and have been fiddling by painting it over in Photoshop in an attempt to make it look decent. I'md rather happy with the end result now and want to move on to other pieces.

Fire Mage

This is a character I designed sometime in 2009 as part of my Eternal Seven story. The drawing has been touched up multiple times since the initial sketch, to the point where I think it just needs a complete rework.

Dragons - Ink Sketches from 2019

Here are a couple of sketches I made in the year of our Lord, 2019.

This one is a baby dragon on top of an egg that hasn't hatched yet. This sketch would serve as a basis for a digital painint I made a couple of years later.

Dive bomb! Dragons are never far from my mind. I grew up roaming the hills looking for lizardss and snakes. I love scaled things that are cool to the touch! Do you feel the same way?

Scaled Hounds - Sketch from February 2019

One of my favorite things to do during meetings is to draw. Sometimes people think I'm not listening, but I can breathe and chew bubble gum at the same time too!

Into the Sky

In times of peace or war, rain or shine, it's important to take your dragon out each day.  There's nothing quite like the exhilaration of falling into the heavens.

Digital painting made in Procreate and Photoshop, April 2018.
