watching for stars fin
This print is now for sale at [link] they are limited only 100 available and are going fast.

Many Many years ago I bought a rpg book. I flipped through the pages and found a incredible array of fantasy pen/ink work. The works were fantastic and I must say that it has influenced me to a huge degree in my love for fantasy and adventure artwork.

The talents of :icongiadrosich: and larry elmore, their linework and paintings really. i believe have influenced fantasy artwork in a very positive away and set the bar high in the late 70's and 80's.

I met them both and the talented mark poole this last year, though I have known bob for a bit, and they made me feel that I just belonged - which was what i needed last year. So a tribute to them and where artwork can go.
Thanks-

Flats update
Still plugging away at the flats and making sure it is going in the direction i need it to - There will be plenty of changes as well - trust me it is far from finished. **note** I was not happy at all with the sky so i changed it- it was way too dull- so the canvas is clean with a gradient- i will play more with it later.

Flats and inks info
I really fell into the groove with this one- 2 hours for both inks and pencils. The flats will take a little longer especially as i tackle the sky and scales. I like the concept of the blue dragon and the boy. It puts things in perspective for me in an odd sort of relationship.

Colors Fin
Well things are about wrapped up here- I like the feel of it and the calming colors- i tried really hard to stay away from warms and give it a nice cool feel. - Ok on to the next one- 2 more major illustrations to do
