A comission for Mike Brown. 0.5 technical drawing pencil.

edit: Just so you all know, from next week when I get back from France I will be actively looking for comissions, so if you're pondering getting your hands on your very own kat nicholson image, then get those thinking caps on! first pay, first serv!

fights certainly make for some interesting oppertunities to use weird and wonderful poses.. especially when you're dealing with air-based fights I guess.. dragons and birds and stuff... I love drawing things like this :]

=BlackUniGryphon has been one of my biggest inspirations in wing-drawings lately.. she's a master at them, you should take a look at her stuff!! :] - poor dragon indeed!

PhoenixAshesRats [2005-06-06 03:36:55 +0000 UTC]

That is a great wyvern body. I simply love the detail that you put into the whole thing. I feel kinda bad for the poor thing though. He's just getting his butt handed to him.

KatCardy In reply to PhoenixAshesRats [2005-06-12 15:15:02 +0000 UTC]

yeah I know!! tell me about it.. i felt sorry for the dragon all the way through .. but, that's what the comissioner wanted, so that's what I had to draw!! ... it was fun anyway I don't often do character interaction pieces like this.. perhaps I'll follow it up with a sequal sometime of the dragon getting his wicked revenge! hehehe!! thanks for commenting!! ^_^

check out =BlackUniGryphon she is my main recent influence with wings.. I believe she has a tutorial somewhere :]

Dragnmastr [2005-06-03 13:05:52 +0000 UTC]

AS the comission requestor of this piece I can say with complete certainty that I think she did a fantastic job on putting this picture together as well as she has.

Katza, it is wonderful and thank you for doing this commision for me. It is perfect.

For some background, I will be useing this image (with Kat's permission of course) to create a 3D image of this using metal miniatures. When complete I will have Kat post the picture of it on her sight for comparison.

Also for those of you worried about the dragon, he gives a good account of himself by singeing the bird's tail feathers and partially toasting a wing.

cheers bear! the initial plan wasn't to render this one at all, the comissioner requested a line-drawing. But then he paid me more than what I asked for, so I thought if he paid more, it's only fair that he recieve more! ^_^ hehe.. - fortunately the piece lended itself to some nice hatch-work, and the buyer loved it
