Description
...of the Female Half-Dragon
a study of how a human-like torso could have operational wings sprouting from the back, how the wing's scapula (shoulderblade) would look, and oulines of how the creature would take off and flap. The layout is sort of based on DaVinci's sketchbooks.
It's a "female half-dragon" because my first D&D character that I played, Amethyst, was just that, and she had wings like these. I decided male half-dragons have long and powerful tails, but not wings (note that Amethyst doesn't have a tail). I did this as an etching print because my wonderful Printmaking teacher let us come up with our own subject matter for our work as long as we got the right number of good-quality prints. I had taken an advanced figure-drawing class the semester before and had become fascinated with the idea of how fantasy creatures' bodies could possibly work (see also my fantasy fossil etchings).
