Today’s Fantasy Art Drawing
Another Todd Lockwood. Tried to take his concept and make the dragon look like Ari. I ended up wasting an hour because I drew the original head, but ended up erasing it to make the head look more like Ari’s.
Daily Fantasy Drawing Thoughts & Meditations
Why Do Kings Hate Dragons in Fantasy Stories?
Simple! Dragons are evil, fire-breathing monsters that steal gold, kidnap princesses, and burn down farms! But if you’ve been living in recent times where there’s an obsession with ‘subverting your expectations’, you probably know it’s more than that.
In Dragon Rider’s Dance, dragons have the ability to look at treasure and know its whole history. If a king is spreading a propaganda tale of how he was the mighty defender of the realm, she could simply look at his sword, see the truth and say “Actually, you hid behind a rock the entire battle.”
I’ve been playing with the idea for Book 2 where Ari and Matthias get hired by a king who’s been corrupted by the UnNamed to protect his daughter, but while they’re protecting the princess, several assassins and dragon slayers are trying to kill them. And of course, they find out later the king put out a proclamation that an evil dragon and her dark knight stole their princess, and whoever rescues her will have her hand in marriage or something.
I made an animatic using Conan audio a few months back which kinda got me thinking about that storyline. I’ve decided it’s going to be the first adventure you see Ari and Matthias go on.
