#dragon fantasy
A good first real session on this piece after a lot of eyeing the initial textures and trying to figure out what it would become. Now I’m tearing through this future tinydragon submission with a surprising energy!

Liran’s Ascent
Photoshop and Painter, 2015
Liran and his dragon Quelatac, from my personal project, Firebloods.
Liran is a divisive figure, and someone who could be called visionary in some of his ideas and approaches– though whether that brings good or bad depends on who you are. Though others have attempted in the past, he’s the first person to successfully ‘tame’ dragons, which he sees as a way to advance how people live and to diminish the importance of national borders, as he is anti-empire, having been a refugee of war at an early age. He might also argue that domesticating dragons is the only way to save them from being hunted by humans. Liran has a penchant for seeing the hidden potential in people who are down and out, and his habit of bringing these individuals into his care has gained him a small band of loyal comrades who believe in his cause.
Still, whether dragons can truly be restrained on a larger scale remains to be seen– and whether Liran’s idea of creating a ‘people unbound by borders’ is humanitarian or anarchistic is yet up for debate as well.

“Blue Banner”, 2.5" x 3.5". The original gesture for this piece is actually many years old (perhaps as many as 6-10, I forget), a marker sketch I found and brushed over with Daniel Smith Watercolor Grouns until it was only a faint ghost… then I painted it anew, pushing the shapes and filling it out with fresh details and flowing lines. It was a therapeutic little piece to work on and that joy shows through in the result, I feel!
This original piece is now available on my website!

“Riptide”, 2.5" x 3.5" mixed media. There’s something about letting even an imposing figure dissolve into pattern– it connects them to their environment in a way that I feel continually drawn to exploring.

“World Weaver”, commissioned by Arialth. I found this to be a really enjoyable commission to work on, as I dig the concept of dragons being sentient beings with an interest in creation in the same way humans are, but on a much grander scale.

A mixed media piece measuring 2.5" x 3.5", drawn during my four day trek on the Laugavegur Trail hike in Iceland after being inspired by the richness of the landscapes I was travelling through.

‘Double-Hearted’, Photoshop and Painter, 2016. Though all others would regard a man of multiple allegiences as being two-faced, in his own true being the General knows he is instead double-hearted. But to love both sides of a war is a battle lost from the start, for a man divided can never truly move forward with united purpose.
Part of the Firebloods illustrations series.

Vista From The Cliffs
Photoshop, 2015
The young dragon Thearen overlooks a familiar human city with a mixture of anxiety and longing. Having been raised amongst them, he still cares greatly for the people he knows there. But returning home is a difficult thing for a chronic runaway.
Part of the Firebloods illustrations series.
