Very pretty with some nice curves, complementary colors, and both symmetric and asymmetric elements.

I have one Q though: how does he sit down?

P.S. I assume this is Morthal from the Elder Scrolls. The name drauge is strange though. Did you mean draugr?

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


A fine surrealistic rendering. It does evoke curiosity and awe.In India too we have very strange stories in mythology that mixes humans and with animals and demons.May be that is the way to make people understand a certain message. Fear is the key! Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Ahh the man of my dreams, a nice long tail along with a beard!

How well drawn this is with so many elements to consider. The yellow and orange fiery background marries up so well with all those lava rocks and explosion which could have benefited from a bit of yellow or reddish hue to tie in the eye to the lava explosion and flow feeling....just a suggestion.

The lion doesn't look fierce at all in his fierceness, looks like he's yawning or laughing and the little crown on his head reminds me of a drag queen and so you toy with your viewers....which is a good thing.

The detail of your drawing is quite exact, are you an engineer? The way you have the lightening drawn in makes it look like this guy is hung over the volcano.

It is a piece that is curiously at once exciting and incongruous in many aspects...a real good brain teaser.

    your review is one that has me smiling. when I started this painting beleive it or not I was just working on a lions head, then becauise I am also working on a childrens story with flying wolves and have been painting wings, I decided to add wings for the fun of it, and it seemed to take a life of its own after that LOL When I was finished I had to come up with a story line so now you have the real story behind the story LOL
    thank you so much for a wonderful review and the smile that you gave me, a always you are one that makes my day

Stunning image that you have created.
Lots of work and expertise involved in creating this image. Colors and composition are both excellent

    Well deserved compliments
Comment from filly421


Hey, I liked the story, especially his final words.
LIke this creature, with the scallop designs on his weirdly shaped wings, his lions head with mouth open in anger, the body, and tail in the same scalloped pattern as the wings, only in blue.
great yellow backround with curtain-like effect, and what looks like lightening.
Like the realization of the creature myth.
nice textures, shapes, lion's head, and the volcano below are well done. The body and the front of his pants seem a bit blurred. Kind of would like the same clarity as his head and wings.
Still an imaginative and well done image.

Comment from Angelheart The First


Not bad,looks like you don't need any more programs to do
your work girl.I like the colors you did this one in.
The background,w/o having read the story,looks like he's
Satanic,coming out of his hole in Hell.I like the lightning bolts but hey,why a lions head?
Back to the sofa.Pain...
Angelheart :)

    no reason just decided to put a lions head on him LOL I thought it looked a bit satanic also so I decided to make up a story so that no one would see him that way LOL
    thanks for the review girlfriend
