Description This is one of my ink drawings from How To Save A Dragon that I've spruced up a bit in PS with a little colour.

People don't seem to be reacting to the line images on this site so I thought I'd try the old moth to a flame routine.

This image shows Wendigo / Windigo, the main villain of the book. He is a shadowy creepy Hunter and poacher and in one chapter of the book Oscar has a dream that Wendigo, breathing fire, is trying to capture and kill all the dragons.

I based him on an unlikely cross between David Tennant's Doctor and Lono from 100 bullets with a little western and Victorian big game hunter thrown in for good measure.

My untold idea for the character is, like his namesake, he doesn't just capture the dragons for money. He 'takes' something too. Maybe eats something and he is slowly changing from a normal guy into something else. His teeth are getting sharper. His eyes are pale and milky. His finger nails are pointed and sharp like talons. And his hair spikes up like the dragon's quill feathers...

How are you doing, anyway? I've been away for a while and just realised I've not caught up with dA peeps in ages.

Struggling to find a way to support myself through art alone. It doesn't seem to be happening - !

I thought you were an archaeologist?

I've had some time off and, unfortunately, done no drawing at all. Wanna get something done before I start work again next week.

oh I am - but it gets shite-all money and my recent movehouse means my commuting hours have become ludicrous making the whole endeavour costly and pointless - !

Damn. Well. Looks like you're gonna have to get a bullwhip, and Fedora and go grave robbing.

Not a nice thought, eh? Surgery without the anesthetic, just an evil crooked smile.

Cheers. I wanted it to be dark and atmospheric. But I was only allowed to have a certain amount of black per printed page.

Love the hard shadows in this, and I love his wonky teeth. Very interesting character.
