Belem-and-the-Dragonby *Erebus74

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

A piece I draw fast (4 hours initially) for a Portuguese professor that has done an article on my work for boardgames and asked if I could do a piece on Portugal. So I draw the Tower of Belem (with reference, both because It was not pratical to draw it without, and because I was full of other works and so I had to do the piece in a hurry), and a marauding dragon on it: it was a long time I wanted to do a piece on dragons.

In the end, I retook it for another 2-3 hours of corrections to correct the left wing and refine a bit more the dragon (since I had not the time to detail the dragon initially).

Anyway, enjoy it, I had fun painting my first dragon, and while I'm satisfied on how his head comed out, I will surely do better the next time!

That's one huge dragon. Seeing such a thing would be a truly impressive sight.

Dragons are, for me, the most powerful fantasy beings, even stronger than Titans in some ways, so the strongest among them should be proportioned to fight...titans

ANyway, in my fantasy world the dragons are powers of the Earth, it's blood and veins of energy... and probably the pollution has made this dragon mad and he emerged from the ley lines to take vengeance on us

So the dragons are basically manifestations of earth energy then? Sounds interesting. ^^

Yes, at least in "Signori del Fato" (Lords of Fate) my rpg/fantasy world

But it has some connection with real mythos. The "Snake of the Eden" for example, can be seen as a manifestation of the power of the earth and the material world, wich "corrupts" Adam and Eve, but is not corrupt for himself, since is it's natural way of being in existence.

I have widened on that theme and connected the manifestation of dragons to Earth energies

I will publish my rpg soon, but in Italian for now, I write decently in english but not so well as I can write in Italian
