Dragon Lizardman
Now:
Wow, is this old. I guess when I was starting out with digital art I decided that a high level of control implied and required a high level of tedium. Because that’s what it was, creating all those individual scales, especially late in the project when one edit required a screen redraw that took 30 seconds+ to fill in all the other gradient polygon scale objects (this was the days of working on a Pentium 75MHz machine, after all).
Then:
When I was younger I had a fascination with reptiles, and that extended to lizardmen and other scaly fantasy creatures too. This image makes me think back to Thundercats, and that reptilian henchman that worked for Mumm-Ra… ahh, cartoons.
One of the first complete images I’ve created with a computer, this is a vector drawing done in Corel Draw 4. Nothing amazing here, I just wanted to show one of my few original vector drawings; I remember I spent a long time on this one because for some odd reason I decided to draw each scale by hand, and this guy has several hundred of them.
This image was created in December of 1995.
