Komodo Dragon
Working on a painting with a Komodo dragon in it, so just trying to doodle some sketches out so I can loosen up and draw him correctly on the panel!!

Fin Fang Foom
Not feeling very inspirational today, so it's Fin Fang Foom from the husband's toy collection for tonight! Think he's a pretty cool dragon figure, actually, even if I don't know too much about him....

Chinese dragon puppet
Blah- another headache! Just 'cause I'm married doesn't mean my headaches are going away anytime soon. Phooey. Here's a quick doodle of an adorable Chinese dragon puppet I got last spring that hangs in my room... enjoy!

Quetzalcoatl like dragon
Damon had drawn a dragon in his sketchbook, and upon me asking, he explained it was a Quetzalcoatl, so I tried to draw one, based on his description of "it's a dragon with feathers.. you know... from the Aztecs and Cortez and that whole thing?"
Afterwards, I learned real Quetzalcoatls don't have legs, so this is sort of a Quetzalcoatl look-alike. They're also realy hard to find on google when you have no idea how to spell their name. So I've done it for you! (ps- my ink looks shiny with the camera flash for some reason.. weird!)

Gary Gygax DnD Tribute Piece
Here is my piece for the Gary Gygax Dungeons and Dragons show that was hosted at Titmouse Animation Studios last night. The show was great- lots of fun pieces and much thanks to Chris P for putting the whole thing together!! : D
At first, I wanted to do a piece that was just something having to do with alter-egos and players with their real personas vs playing characters, but once I thought about the theme of the show a bit more, I figured it would be nice to do something about Gygax himself.
Gary Gygax is considered the father of the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons and one of the pioneering forces in table-top gaming. Therefore, he's the perfect ultimate Dungeon Master, the person who often heads up DnD games and calls the shots.
Since he's passed away this year, I figured the perfect halo would be a 20-sided die. The signature at the top refers to the original logo for TSR, the first company that published Dungeons and Dragons, which is a combination of Gygax's initials and his partner, Don Kaye.
I was going to put him in the Dungeon Master's outfit from the animated series, but learned that he actually left TSR over a dispute with CBS about the television show, so figured it wouldn't do him the best honor to put him in that outfit, so I just left him with a brooch that features the emblem from the ampersand in the DnD logo from the books.

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!
Bonus points for anyone who gets the golden arm-band reference ; ) (hint: it's from one of my favorite books!)

Traffic Dragon
Another idea for an LA Myth- the Traffic Dragon- the evil spawn that is born when the 405, 110, 101, 170, 134 and 5 all merge together into one terrifying traffic jam!

San Andreas Dragon
Was thinking about last year's LA Myth show and how awesome it was, and thinking (hoping?) it might come around again (it should- it was seriously a really nifty concept for a show), but if it was, I would love to try and submit something to it. Here's a rough concept I was playing around with; The San Andreas Dragon; the real reason LA has earthquakes. Maybe next time; the Traffic Dragon! ha ha!

June 3, 2008; Red Dragon
Inspired from a dragon pattern on a tea set I got in Shanghai, China. (with bonus photo of actual tea set! I didn't end up getting the beautiful tray it is shown with in the store where I took the pic- all the tea sets I saw in China had these elaborate drainage trays that they came on).
(plus more fun with the pentel brush pen set!)

Objects from China:
Portrait of a Bronze age beast! Yes, another cool object from my favorite museum.
So now that I'm all caught up again, I'm off on another trip for the weekend (yes, I cannot stop travelling!), so unless I can figure out how to take fantastic cell phone pics of my sketch book and post them, look for more drawings on Monday! Thanks for bearing with the hit or miss updates as of late, but all the daily drawings are there and accounted for sooner or later! : )

This one is based off another gem from the Guangzhou's Museum of the Nanyue King; it's inspired from a jade dragon ornament that was found on the Nanyue King himself, and makes up the logo of the Museum.

Komodo dragon
Been reading Douglas Adam's wonderful book, "Last Chance to See," which is basically a travelogue about Adams going around the world tracking down endangered animals and writing about them. A bit travel writing, a bit comedic, a bit conservationist, and all Adams- highly recommend! Anyway, it a very interesting chapter regarding Komodo Dragons which inspired today's drawing... enjoy!
