St George and the dragonby *retroafro1

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Storybook

So this was for a magazine that showcases illustrators work. The theme was 'Myths' I chose St George and the dragon, mainly because i was read it a lot as a child and went to a school known as St. George's etc etc so yeah thought it would be a good chance to draw a dragon! I did St george as a weathered older female, fatigued and exhausted from battle and of course based in the future. Just to keep it modern....females can be heros too!

Wow. Incredible use of texture, lighting and dynamic action. It feels real. I love that you made her female but I couldn't really tell until I read your description.
However, this is an amazing piece. Beautifully done and very professional too!

thanks, yes it is difficult to tell she is indeed female, but thats only cus we are use to more feminine appearances, i really wanted to try something different....but its a learning curve..maybe if i implemented hair it would of helped, everything about the pice is "mans world" so yeah I could of maybe made the face softer...but hey, theres always next time

You know, you're absolutely right. God, how the media influences us all eh? I really like the message you're sending out with this piece. Really neat. I think it's good to try and force people to see things differently.
