Blue Dragon
Fiiiiiiinally finished. A companion piece to this one I did a year and a half ago:
I decided the other day that there was a distinct lack of blue paintings in my folio! Had to rectify the situation.
He is approx 30cm square, watercolour/pastel etc on canvas.


He has shiny silver leaf on his spikes too.

Blue Dragon belongs to the following groups:
Dragon's Fire and The Populous CastAvailable for sale as Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Yeah i love this character..but why is he tied up all the time!! Awesome choice with the blue~! suits him.
Firedrake in reply to salsbells69’s comment
Not sure! Maybe it makes him feel secure….:)
Damian
Poor guy :)
Whatever’s hunting these guys must be pretty impressive though!
Firedrake in reply to Damian’s comment
Yes…these beasts are 100 points!
Cornelia Togea

Michael Alesich

Sort of a 3-d url-burl, I may have misspelled, snake eating it’s own tail. I dig it.
Firedrake in reply to Justin West’s comment
Url-burl? What is this curious beast.

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback. I nearly poked a hole through it at one point, so I wouldn’t have to make a decision on whether to finish it! Glad I didn’t wreck it now :)
KellyThomas
she is a beautiful colour. yes, i’ve decided it’s a girl.. but i guess you do have the final say ;-)

‘I’ll get back to you, I’m all tied up at the moment’. I always like your dragons – they look less threatening than the real ones (like my mother-in-law). Looks like he’s headed for the barbecue; does he supply his own fire?
Firedrake in reply to Brian Towers’s comment
Supply his own fire…hahaaha
I think this one may be a colddrake rather than a firedrake :)
Peter Coleman
excellent work, blue is always good
you could pick your teeth with those little spikes after you BBQ it
Firedrake in reply to Peter Coleman’s comment
And then put your marshmallows on them!

Hmmmm… I think you might be lying to me a little bit!

Lovely artwork, great color.
Debra Trean

Firedrake in reply to Debra Trean’s comment
That’s what I reckon!! Gotta find the writing yin for my picture yang :)
BRENDEN HOWARD

Glitter

or did he just use a chair :-D
LOL

Anne Staub

Mariaan Krog
Excellent Kaitlin!
BLYTHART
Don’t let my wife see this, or it may give her ideas on how to stop me talking :)
BLYTHART
Put this in the Blue group Kaitlin.
Vanella Mead
I love this picture it makes me want to undo the string and find out what happens. I’m sure he would probably eat my fingers!
Firedrake in reply to Vanella Mead’s comment
Yes, he could be rather ungrateful!
Jan Piller
Fantastic work… simply amazing….
saniismail

Firedrake in reply to saniismail’s comment
Thanks!
Michelle Boyer
Great work
JohnYo
I love your ideas
Stephanie Smith
Beautiful! I’m loving all of your enigmatic beasties and beakfaces, but the rich color really makes this one stand out! I’d hate to meet whoever it is who’s been tying these guys up…
Patricia Anne ...
BlueKnot
That is clearly the best way to bind them… if they manage to snort out anything hot they’re going to burn something tender!
Excellent piece!
Firedrake in reply to BlueKnot’s comment
Haha yeah – and I don’t think he can regrow his tail :)
IWML
awesome. oh, in answer to someone up above’s comment, and yr question, the “snake eating its own tail” thing isn’t an “url-burl”, it’s an “ouroborous”. cheers!
Firedrake in reply to IWML’s comment
Haha, thanks! I have always loved those things, but didn’t know the name for it. I like circular compositions so I think I’ll do more :)
