Sad Dragon

Another slightly older picture, but one I really like.  I used to keep leopard geckos and they were fun to draw – and I love to create dragons with their stature and personality – stumpy, big tailed and always slightly petulant.

These rather froggy, lizardy dudes were originally for the COW over on conceptart.org, but muggins here messed up her timing and missed the deadline.  Still, it was a good experience and next time I will look at the clock.

The brief was to create a creature that was dependent on a food-source that was a narcotic.  I went with a reptile that sucks on (and spits out again, don’t worry!) dart frogs. Then sits around saying “dude.” a lot.

Not too happy with the end result, but learnt a lot…

Happy Gecko

It is no secret that I love lizards. Absolutely adore them. Which often gets me strange looks when I enthuse about them in public. Before I took a few years out to travel overseas, I kept leopard geckos and I still miss them terribly.
