| 28 Jul 2003 | The Anonymous | Loading...The dragons heads are like... puny... What's up with that? Anyway... shading is good though... Laurita R. Williamson replies: "The heads are small to contrast with the massive muscles in the chest that it takes to get lift with the wings. Gotta love large chests! Thanks for the comment. I'll keep working at it." | |
| 28 Jul 2003 | Christopher R. Yost | Loading...The dragons' anatomy seem a bit unusual, mainly with the legs. One heck of a shading and detail job. Awesome work! Laurita R. Williamson replies: "Have you ever wondered what kind of a shoulder skeleton a creature with arms and wings would have? Probably not, but it has puzzled me for a long time. These dragons are more of a study in the skeletal structure than anything else. The wings would need a larger muscle mass than the forearms, which would be used mainly for grasping.. um...food. Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them!" | |
| 7 Mar 2004 | Steph | Loading...This is the first dragon I've seen in the woods with a keel-shaped breastbone. Well done! I'm still not sure if they'd get into the air even then but it's a really good idea. And kudos for portraying them like lions around a kill. Nice to see other people think about these things too... Laurita R. Williamson replies: "Thank you for leaving a comment. I still wonder about the anatomy, not only of dragons, but anything with arms and wings. A double shoulder? Two sets of pecs? It would take an enormous muscle mass to lift them, that's for sure." | |
| 3 Aug 2004 | Jamie A. Hughes | Loading...I love your take on dragons! Who says that they all have to be shaped the same way!? I, for one, think this is a very fresh look at these classic creatures. The detail of this piece is simply stunning. I can't even draw decent stick figures, much less something as grand as this! Simply marvelous!! | |
