Description
My version of the dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece.There's some things I could fix/tidy up but really, this picture's been on my easel for about 18 months and I'm done with looking at it!
Water mixable oil paints (paynes grey and titanium white) on approx 14x10 inch canvas board.

In 'Jason and the Argonauts' maybe - there's also some versions of the myth suggest a 'serpent'. The dragon option's just as viable.

This actually inspired me to do my newest art project in oil paints. I love it!

There's not a whole lot to say about this, other than how awesome it is and that I love the shading, and I like how you designed the dragon's face. x3 Man seeing stuff like this makes me really unhappy with my own traditional painting skills, but that's my fault since I never practice.
One question though: What is that white fluffy thing on its neck? I'm assuming from your description it's either a sheep, or its fleece.

Thank you! I love painting on canvas.. though it also endlessly frustrates me since I can't ever seem to quite get the detail I want and have to go with whatever the brush wants to do.
Yeah, practice is the way to go - I bought a load of cheap, crappy canvases from a discount store a while back and made a mess on them. A little time consuming but definitely paid off. Next I need to branch out a bit more from payne's grey monotones
That's the Golden Fleece, as per the Greek myth. I've not painted/drawn anything sheep like before so it did turn out to be a bit of a blob!

Your painting abilities are awe inspiring! I really love how the moon and fire really seems to cast a ghostly light on everything. I'm sure you hear it a lot but great job!

Thank you! I spent a long time trying to get the lighting right (including repainting bits several times) so thanks for remarking on it.

Totally kickasstic ... but if this bad boy was guarding the fleece, I don't think that kid Jason would have had a snowball's chance in a very very hot place

Thank ye
If he were to try and saw through this one's neck like in one of the versions of the story, Jason would've needed some pretty heavy-duty machinery methinks!

Wow I'd love to see it in real life! 
How are youuu my dear

heheh, yeah I wouldn't want to meet this dragon either... the painting looks better than this photo of it - I find it hard to get my paintings photographed right but this is the closest I could manage.
And I'm good thanks
