Dragon Slayer

Fantasy is usually too heteronormative -- men are always butch and gruff; women, on the other hand, are always big breasted, "attractive" and clad in chainmail bikini.

Also, magic and brains are usually the province of "evil" -- "true heroes" are always warrior guys.

As a reaction to all that, I made this dragon slayer some kind of eldritch dancer, a laguind creature, quite androgynous -- delicate face, malicious eyes, eyeliner and lipstick, hair ornate, arranged in braids and flowers, and a maculine, well-muscled body.

(Also, I recently read Storm Constantine's Wraeththu trilogy, and it was quite inspiring!)

This is the same as [link] but colored on Photoshop and Painter

I'm sorry but I don't like this, a like dragons a lot and to see that it got killed by a barely clothed lady is crazy

I love this too. My brain is greatly appreciating your work and the thoughts put behind it!

My coping skill is fantasy, which comes with man abs. Glorious man abs!

E inteligível, principalmente. O P&B é um caos de traços que desafiam (do jeito ruim) o espectador a entender o que se passa ali. =P

I too get sick of standard "Conan" and "Red Sonja" type archetypes.

Interesting take on the Dragonslayer motif. I prefer to avoid using
creatures like Dragons, Orcs, Elves, etc...Or at least evolve these
old ideas into something new...

But you have done a wonderous job here!

I agree with: dragons, orcs and the like are best avoided. As Miéville puts it, "creating your own critters is fun." This piece was made for a contest in which dragons were sort of required.
