Description
Since my car got wrecked, to get it fixed, I've had to clean out the trunk. And it had a lot of my art stuff from college.
So, finding some of these hidden treasures, I decided to show all of you these silly images.
And here is one of them.
This one has a story. When I was going to school, I was forced to do post modern art, which is...utter garbage in my opinion. As the kind of post modern art I was made to do...seemed more like things I would do in kindergarten than in a place of higher learning.
And often I went broke and hungry buying the high quality paper to draw on as well. Which this image is drawn on.
The image is of a DnD black dragon who spits acid on the canvas and his manager, a fairy, calls out "I see another masterpiece!" Because yeah. That's pretty much what modern art is. I've seen artists who paint rather lovely paintings, and then completely destroy them and put the scraps up for auction for tens of thousands of dollars. And people would buy that shit.
This is an example of me rebelling against the system. And I did it with a black dragon spitting acid on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece.
That is where we're at, people! And this image was drawn in 2010, so before Neltharion.

Hey it looks cool still 
I do understand the emotion to rebel against a certain form or movement of art that you do not agree with. Some folks like it, and that's good for them. I personally don't agree with it, when they are doing it in order to put outrageous price tags on art that was destroyed or literally took a matter of 10 mins to put on paper or canvas.

i think post modern mostly depends on the interpretation of the view and the subject matter the artist paints. don't get wrong, i have seen some post modern art that is utter crap and then there is some art that does a creative thought process do it. i do hate the artists that their egos speak for them more then their art and think even their sloppiest of work they do can be worth a lot of money.
the form of art the i dislike the most is contemporary art, those kind of artists do the least amount of work on a painting and expect to be considered a masterpiece.

Haven't seen a D&D black dragon drawn by you in a long time.
He could spit on some fan art of *insert whatever fandom here* and ship it with the main characters.

Well, this is an old drawing anyways.

I don't recall seeing this before, this isn't the Dark Dragon from Crimson Dragon right?
You rarely see in general D&D dragons like this lately. I think Wizard is focused on Pathfinder...
As for my "shipping" comment, it came from this great episode of the Amazing World of Gumball.

It comes in 3 parts, but man is it accurate.

You haven't seen this image because I never showed it until now.
But if you notice the style, you can see that it was made back in 2010.
And no, it's not the Dark Dragon. It was just some random black dragon I drew.

Why not? It's pretty good.
I noticed this black dragon does not have any hair on his forehead.
So no connection to Crimson Dragon?
Is this random black dragon at his real size or he's shrunk down?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So what, at full/true dragon size he's as big as a 747 airplane?
Why do you like such huge dragons again btw?

No, this one isn't the size of Jonathan.
And I love big dragons.

Oh yeah, he's probably as big as the Dark Dragon in his true black dragon form? I think there's a size reference pic, he's pretty big.
Why, if you don't mind me asking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It just feels right that they should be so huge.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why? So they have a much larger presence over us mere mortals?
Them being able to shrink their size works pretty well for urban fantasy settings.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you want them to have presence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dragons already generally are larger than us humans and have dragonfear.
But, yeah, them being bigger does make them have even more of a presence.
Doesn't that make them despise or not give a crap about humans though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jon cares about humans.
I suppose it depends on the dragon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dragons like him would generally be frowned upon for being "human lovers" right?
I agree, not all humans are good/like dragons either.
Ya could argue them being bigger does equal more huggies/snuggles with/from humans?
