Description This is the cover painting of my dragon calendar, which you can see more of here [link] and as you'll see on the cover the dragon is looking up at the title and the fire overlaps the border. The image also appears in full for the month of June.

The publishers chose this image for the cover as they thought the red of the dragon would be a good stand out colour on shop shelves. The picture originally had a celtic cross in the background but for the calendar I changed it to a stormy sky for a little added drama. I generally paint digitally which makes making changes like these much easier.

Hope you'll like it!

Rarrrrrrragh!!!!!!

This dragon looks almost like they're air-guitaring with that sword.

awesome!  i've never drawn a dragon without hind legs.  I like how you did this thought, i'm thinking that he slithers around like a snake when he lands

This is an Awesome work of art! This is more properly called a Wyvern, rather than a Dragon, but the attention to detail and the skill in execution is absolutely beautiful! I am humbled in the presence of such great talent!

Haha this is epic. At first I thought it was playing a guitar but a guess a bloody spear sword is just as awesome. xD
