Description A couple of years ago a friend introduced me to a fantasy book called 'Magician' by Raymond E. Feist. I've read a lot of fantasy in my time, but this book and the ones that follow it hold a particular magic that most other books are without.

Fantus is from these books; A firedrake who lives with the Magician Kulgan, but is not owned by him. I drew him based off the first description of Fantus in the book, except I made the nose more pointy (like a crocodile) and less like that of an alligator. Some other stuff were left to the imagination, like the wings and how they folded and the scales.

I touched up the completed drawing in pspX for display.

This is to my friend, Gareth!

Thank you
It's been quite a while since I read the series, but it's still one of my top books. All of Feist's works are really addictive, so I won't be surprised if like me you're onto the next lot of his works after this

Ah!!! I totally love that you drew Fantus! He's the bestest little Firedrake ever.... of course I loved him when William would talk to him in A Darkness at Sethanon more that at the beginning. ; )

Thank you Yes, I definitely liked him better in A Darkness at Sethanon, talking to William was very cute!

I can't imagine the amount of time it took you to texture those scales. Just amazing!
