Dragon Race

Tonight’s picture is a little miniature inspired by this awesome soundtrack. Basically, Tseo just met Hoarwilk for the first time, and she’s like “come on my back and we’ll go flying together, little elf!” So he gets on, and then they see Tseo’s buddy Hrulash and his new dragon friend Garekhen, and they’re like “LET’S RACE”. So they pick the top of that big impressive mountain that’s hard to distinguish from the clouds, I just realized, and they have to go through a stormy cloud layer. Garekhen flinches in the storm, but Hoarwilk doesn’t, and everybody bursts into the sunlight over the mountain and just whoops their heads off like sports fans and it’s all very glorious and everything.

So I drew a picture of it. : D Using my new favourite ‘messy’ brush, even for the dragons and people, just at a smaller size. And yes, Hoarwilk is smaller than Garekhen. Hard to tell? Maybe.

And yeah! That’s about it! : D

Hrulash and Garekhen

Quickie picture of Hrulash and his dragon buddy Garekhen for the Wayrift Dragonrider contest.

In the Adhemlenei, Hrulash is Tseo’s buddy, and the second-in-command of the Royal Guard; he is not that great at combat, actually, but he is the best knight for paperwork ever. But he is rather uptight and impatient, exceedingly serious, demanding of his underlings, and possessed of a good enough tactical skill that people can’t say he only got his position by being friends with Tseo. Garekhen, the dragon, is also quite serious and focused on doing things the right way, but finds an enormous simple pleasure in flying with his friend.

I kinda slopped this together in a couple hours. That’s why the anatomy is a complete fail, even though I did  try, at least with Hrulash… A few things: Garekhen has lion-like paws and no back-spikes. So with the horns and the lack of fins, he looks quite different from Hoarwilk, the other golden dragon we’ve met so far.

Hrulash’s name means Riverwave, and Garekhen is a dragon-name so the kalmaei don’t know what it means.
