My contribution to the RARE 2012 Anthro Calendar and the theme of this years calendar is: Mythological Anthros.
I got to draw the Great Dragon.
I spent a long time researching for the origin of the mythology and since it has so many different beginnings and corners, the 'true' depiction of the Great Dragon would be by far not as imposing as this one.
Therefore I decided for the archetype of the dragon and made it a tad bigger.
You can pre-order the calendar until September 30th for a price of 20$ (+8$ international shipping). For ordering and more information visit our official website: http://ashalind.com/anthrocalendar/ordering.html

I really like the landscape! There's something... missing from the dragon, though. It looks good, but having seen your previous work, I'm sure you could do better. It looks like a WIP that's about 85-90% done.
The central line along the underside of the neck, the chest and the belly doesn't quite line up, and the chest and head look a little flatter than the rest of the creature, as though the light from the light source didn't quite reach that high.
If it's already been sent for printing and the client's happy with it, I guess you can't really do anything about it. I'm not saying it's bad! It just looks as though you got a little bored with finishing it and you didn't quite maximise your potential.

Dang, I'm too used to seeing your art and Foxamoore's stuff go hand and hand, I went stright to the comments to see if there was a track to listen for while I was looking at the pic xD
I absolutely love your rendition, and the varying light levels showings off the translucency of the wings looks really nice. I like your use of saturation as well as the composition to draw the viewer to the focal point of the piece.

Awesome! Suprised no1 asked... What would a "great dgon" look like, then? I am interested in what your research gave you an idea of? I mean, dragons are in many origin stories as creating entire lands or planets, others devouring the planet at the point of rapture or rebirth.
Care to elaborate?

"a tad bigger" WTF XD This creature could gulp a whole village in one bite. I really like the 'classical' dragon design and I like how you shaped the maw (it's kind of unusual, but it reminds me on the Sliver creatures from MtG). What amazes me way more than the dragon though is the surrealistic landscape! You improved a lot since your last images with comparable backgrounds (especially the fading effect in the distance).
I'm such an addict for cool surrealistic landscape art <3

I wanted to say that I am no fan of loud things anymore first off but when I realized the moss was more than a single forrest I kinda was witnessing my mind changing in front of my eyes. hum. you made it ;3
that critter might not even KNOW of insects.
anyway, what I wanted to say was that I liked your comment more than the picture... Ill find back to that notion eventually ~
