Description
The renowned lizard warriors of Etrajen are best known for their hardy desert slugs. From the original cave slug stock, they have created a fearsome battle gastropod, capable of withstanding the heat of the desert and going without water for up to fifteen minutes at a time. Here, a lizard knight rides out on his trusty destrier, Oozeheart.Okay, okay, I was doing another of the watercolors of the cave lizards, right, and there were these slug riders, and I thought "Dude! Slug riders! No! Slug knights!" and had to do this digital piece too, while still noodling with the watercolor.
Prints available, as always, at [link] for a mere $10 plus shipping!

I really like the concept and the illustration of this piece. I had to dig through your gallery and I liked a lot of things I saw, but this one stood out to me because of it's humor, it's composition, and the way it was presented.

Destriers, Oi! Mine escaped into the salt flats. I still have the saddle, but it doesn't win nearly as many races, and I can no longer survive on the stud fees alone.

As a former resident of the Pacific Northwest (where banana slugs can easily top 6-8 inches, and some make it to a full foot in length), scarred at an early age by the sight of two slugs mating (you *really* don't want to know what that looks like -- it's been 25 years or so, and I still haven't managed to erase the memory), I have to salute you... ...this is a truly inspired work of comedic art!
I am so delighted to have come across your work -- I suspect I'll be wallowing in your gallery for *quite* some time...
...er, wait, somehow "wallowing" and "slugs" don't make for that appealing an image...
