Dragons Lairby *Ironshod

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

Enter the dragon's lair if you dare!

My aim for this picture was to paint a classic image of a powerful dragon. I thought that a red dragon would make an aggressive looking creature, and is a colour that will sit well alongside the golden treasure and dark cavern. Skeletal remains are scattered on the floor to show the fate that awaits any treasure hunters rash enough to take on this beast.

An article about how I painted this picture is published in issue 50 of Imagine FX [link] Out today in the UK and Europe and elsewhere in the world next month.

I hope you like it

Reminds me of the cover of a dungeons and dragons box, similar dragon I guess.

No offense to the artist, but its and angry red dragon surrounded by its hoard of gold, in a cave, with the weapons and charred bones of those who failed at slaying it littered around its nest... its not exactly that original in the way that it is one of the most easily imaginable fantasy settings.

the artist did a very good job at capturing the scene, however, and I like how the dragon is more on the offensive. you will typical see the dragon curled back in a defensive or protective posture, but this looks as though whoever is seeing this will soon be the next to join that charred bone club!
