Illustration Friday: "Hoard"
Was having trouble trying to think of something to draw for this week's Illustration Friday; finally thought of something! Maybe a bit obvious, but ties into my recent dragon theme lately!

Lovley piece, nicely handled watercolour!
Not sure on the arm band, but it puts me in mind of Smaug from the Hobbit.
Lovely :) Is the armband from one of the Narnia books?
Really cute dragon! It may be a bit obvious, but I just love the curves of that dragon. Very nice.
Yes...very nice indeed! Love your colors.
oh, I know all about the arm band. In the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace discovers a dragon's lair and puts the band on his arm then falls asleep on the gold. When he wakes up, he has been transformed into a dragon, and the arm band is consequently very tight. The arm band originally belonged to one of the lost travelers. I'm such a dork! That was my favorite book as a kid. Nice work :)
Sarah- yup! It's from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; one of the Narnia books. One of the characters, Eustace, turns into a dragon because he puts a gold armband on his arm that he finds in a dragon's hoard. :D
Great colors and nice composition !
Narnia or not Narnia.
Very nice illo. great shapes and colors. Like the texture of it to.
Wonderful dragon. Really like how you handled the tendrils of smoke.
Great dragon. I like his head pointing up and how the rest of his body seems so relaxed. Simple, and effective. Lovely composition. Very nice!
