First prize for a contest I held earlier this year (yup, I'm slow but I get there in the end! Still a couple more prizes to do after this).
So, first prize and the bonus graphics tablet went to Liquidd for his quite frankly jaw-dropping entry.
He asked if I could draw Barue, a Dragon Mage - one of the characters from his Sorche novel - in dragon form. And thusly I did
The colours are slightly off since his theme's kinda with the violets and purples but I'd taken inspiration from Barue's headgear and gone gung-ho with the silver. Thankfully Liquidd still approved.
As for methods and materials... Barue himself I painted using indian ink, water-soluble pencils and white gel pen. I scanned and tidied up in Photoshop then printed him out and used my airbrush to add the background.

Hummm... remindes me of oldschool fantasy novel covers... The silvery effeckt makes the dragon look alomst liquid.
