This painting was done in acrylics for a fantsy novel cover. The space left at the top and bottom is for the authors name and book title.

The brief was that the dragon should look old and menacing, guarding the cross symbol.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-04-21
Curse of Arastold by *Ironshod is one absolutely beyond brilliant, imaginative, wicked dragon. When I saw this painting I could not help but be awed, and scared, like on a start of the great dangerous adventure or just before the big battle, with a great foe ahead of me. This painting just rocks my world. ( Featured by `SandraPelly )

I read the "Daily Deviation" (Featured by 'SandraPelly) about this painting and I just couldn't agree more. It was so beautifully said! I think the gorgeous shades of red add to the intensity of the emotion that is evoked by the painting.

Finally, I've found the REAL artwork! =D It looks just the way it should... :love:
I think, however, that the bg gives a unique touch to this; moreover, the dragon looks amazing and dignified! :icondragonwant:

Wow. I loved the book and had NO idea that the image was by a DA artist.
Love it!

And yes, I am aware that this is incredibly late. xP

I`ve seen this as a cover art of a book, can`t remember the title though.
