Description
Another illustration of Tolkien's "Farmer Giles of Ham". This time it's dragons gossiping about humans.Now you can see where most of my time goes right now. Hey, at least I can brag that I'm doing a thesis on dragons.
Which one of these guys is your favorite?

Well, maybe a little. I remember Lutczyn's illustrations from my childhood, but honestly I never modeled directly on it. Maybe it's subconscious?
But yes, I like his works.

I'm quite partial to the blue one, but that's because it's my favorite color.
They all look fantastic regardless! I love how they all have distinct features. And hey, a thesis about dragons is like the best kind!

Thank you!
Woah, you've revived your usual account! Are you going to use this one or both? But I'm going to watch you regardless (I deleted your old account from the watch list because I cleared if of dead accounts some time ago).

I'll probably use both. This one for my original character work and then my zombie account for fan work since that makes up a lot of whats on there.

Awww! I admit I don't know much of dragonology - all my dragons are pretty much inspired by other species (mostly rats, dogs and of course dinosaurs).

Синий мой любимый! Самая любопытная мордашка и еще смешно видеть, как он забрался на скалу, чтобы лучше слышать. И гребень у него забавнее и необычнее, чем у остальных. А вообще все 3 рожицы напраленные на мелкого прикольно вместе смотрятся!
Уиииии! дракоооооны! Люблю!
+100 за детальную проработку чешуи и крыльев.

Спасибо! Синий был немного вдохновлен моими крысами - тем, как они свешиваются с крыши клетки: ножки на горизонтальной плоскости, а ручки уже стоят на вертикальной, и зад кверху!

Представляю себе! У меня попугайчик тоже так делал.
Вообще, сейчас посмотрела на них еще раз - теперь уже фиолетовый больше нравится. Но, как я уже говорила, группой здорово смотрятся - щас дослушают мелкого и кааак повалятся со смеху!
хммм... странно... забыла зафавить! ... Во! готово!

Awww, еще раз спасибо! Твое описание подходит, они там как раз говорят "Значит, рыцари - существа мифические! Мы всегда так и думали!"

hahahahaha so cartoony! They better be loving this stuff!
The purple guy is definitely my favorite, because he is pulling of creeper teeth without being creepy! Plus I goddamn love purple.

It is! I like Tolkien's short stories even better than LotR.

I agree. Being a giant nerd and all, I know I'm supposed to be in love with LotR, but although it's great I've tried to reread it over the years and just wandered off. I get through Fellowship quite happily, then immediately fizzle out in Two Towers when the Ents have done their bit and find something else to read. It splits into so many storylines at that point that it almost becomes more work than anything else.

Yeah, LotR feels more like a history book than anything. I still like it but I prefer The Hobbit and shorts stories (especially "Leaf by Niggle", "Roverandom" and "Farmer Giles" - come to think of it, I ended up illustrating them all, though I only did a couple of pictures when it comes to "Roverandom").

Oh man, "Leaf By Niggle" - I haven't read that since high school! #goes to dig through books#

I like to think of it as a must-read book for any artist!
