Working on figuring out some musculature, wings, and general proportions.
Dragon wings are hard but I’m beginning to make sense of them.
This is rough with lots more to figure out. Probably a lot more to change when it strikes me that something just won’t work in real life (as it always does).
the ol’ what was i thinking?
I’ve been poking and poking at the idea of dragons. Dragons in myth and folklore, dragons in art, dragons in literature, cultural differences between dragons, etc. A lot of dragons. And dragon anatomy. For some unknown reason except that maybe I’m a masochist, I went and made up a dragon for no good reason while I was teaching (poorly) myself how to work in Procreate.
anyway…
Turns out, this dragon will be my main dragon in the bestiary cuzz I kinda like him.
From here, I need to work out the little dude’s wing structure, his anatomy, some poses, diet, behavior, and whatever else I can think of that might be important to know about a Forest Dragon. Also need to work on other dragon types and hope I live long enough to get them all down. Eventually, he and the others will be rendered in graphite, ink and watercolor.
So, I decided to make up some t-shirts over on Zazzle with the different dragon illustrations. The shirts also have the listing of contributing authors on the back. If you click on the link below the pictures, it will take you right to the shirts in my Zazzle store. Two shirts are shown below, but there are seven in total for the Dragon’s Lure illustrations.

The editor of Dragon’s Lure anthology has given me permission to post the illustrations I did for the book. The book will launch on Sunday, May 30th at Balticon. Here’s a link to the site for the book: http://www.sidhenadaire.com/books/DL.htm
All the illustrations can be found on my Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thereallinda/sets/72157623889189888/
And a few samples…
