Artist's Comments

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.

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 `sbaraci)

Thanks Dragoninadragon. It was done for a novel called The Curse of Arastold. I really like painting dragons.

Mickyoko - thanks. I do a lot of digital art (mainly due to the added speed) but staring at a computer screen isn't nearly as fun as splashing round paint :)

A hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.

I like the hot atmosphere of this one. I would like to see what the dragon would look like, if the wings would remain thicker at the basis and go down to the tail. Very cool.

Mhhh dead Animal! (that way it sounds more repulsive, and there's a slight chance I get to eat my neighbors plate too :) )

That's great! The stone in the center ties in the background so well.
