Selection for Tuesday February 5th 2013.

Artist name  IraGremka a free sketch for  deeziare Link to the image - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9854739/

Image type and characters - Type A minimalist red line, (with light purple for the prey ) digital sketch of a Lemur being eaten by a dragon, ( however, on the artist's profile page the species is identified as a"Draxion".

Why this image was chosen - Yesterday we went with a hugely detailed dragon vs dragon picture from PonyThroat. Today we go with a minimalist image on the opposite end of the spectrum that IraGremka has done. There were a couple of other uploads posted today that I could have chosen from but I went with this one. The first thing that I like about this picture is how the artist went with a two color approach to show predator and prey. I also like the attractive dragon pred with a sexy looking swimmer's/runner's build and that always gets a plus when done properly like this! The dragon's head and mouth well drawn/designed and the throat bulge hints at an ample sized neck that the Lemur will go down into without difficulty. With the way the dragon's tongue has been shown wrapped around the Lemur's arm/s one might think it was trying to escape. Only to have the pred's tongue wrap and hold Dee in place before the feeling of his hungry swallowing resumes after a brief pause. Putting the "grumble" in the picture adds a textual component to communicate how impatient the dragon's empty stomach is to receive the victim. I like the interesting way that the chin horns match two of the teeth, the dragon's muscular arm rubbing up near the pectorals is a small but important detail that tops off what is a good piece of work.

A well done goes out to IraGrenka for the picture and to Deeziare for being such good prey, happy noms!
