THis was an attempt on my part to try and create a large dragon that could truly fly without the benefits of magic. Or lift gas. Or power crystals. Or a milk shake atmosphere. It would fly enitrely by lift, but would still look enough like a classic dragon that people would say. "Oh! look a dragon!" I decided that the critter would primarily be a glider and I tried to incorporate as much blend body/ lifting surfaces into the critters features. In the end it looked like a repitilan sailplane.

yes I have copy. It is an interesting book although I found some of the designs not gelling with how the author had described them. One problem I had is that he made some of them look, at least in my eyes, rather ugly when the author had described them as being rather pleasant or beautiful to look at. I did like his version of the Demon and the Puppeteer though.
Yeah he was an influence in college. Also I'll agree that I think his sketches are actually better than his finished work, but I've noticed that for many artists ,myself included, the B/W drawings often have more life to them than the finished work. It is one reason why I've tried to loosen up my colors to try and keep some of that energy in them.
