Artist's Comments

I spent my childhood drawing sleek, muscular dragons, trying to achieve some apex of hardcorenes. But tonight, I had a strong urge to tip the scale and embrace the imperfect side of the dragon world. My favorite artist is Tony DiTerlizzi, and he's a genius at making ugly things both strangely beautiful and full of character. I think he's on to something!

photoshop, hour and a half, no reference, bristly brush

A very unique take on dragons and I like it! :) It does look a bit stretched horizontally though..

I too love the glowing nostrils. You're right.. far too many dragons are in shape. =p

Tony DiTerlizzi is one of favorite artists. I love his Spiderwick stuff and Ted...he's truly amazing.

Yup! The Spiderwick Field Guide is my favorite illustrated book of all time. He's just a genius!
