What I draw and why I draw it

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 22, 2005, 11:35 AM
I am a lighting designer getting back to my love of creating fantasy art in drawing and sculpture. I had repressed my involvement in fantasy art for several years, focusing my energies on my career and social life.

So I got a degree, got married, got a job, got a house, and got kids. I’m still working on the dog and cat thing.

And in the last year and a half my desire to draw and sculpt fantastic things has been rekindled. I am attracted to those forms that might be considered evil: demons, dragons, and monsters. But to me they are not evil, just misunderstood and feared.

And I am afflicted with this strange belief and obsession that people should have long tails. How weird is that?

I have 2 clients that I make monster sculptures for and I have 3 clients I make people with tails drawings for. I would also like to find the time to create drawings of my versions of monsters of mythology. But I am busy enough with these two themes.

Be on the look out for new stuff.

Your welcom. That is a really good looking dragon man. I like the head design, how you drew the wings andthe armod on his nose bridge, arms, ribs, and tail. I like the variety of ink line weights and how clean the lines are. With inking perfection will be satisfactory.

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?
