This was painted to entertain an idea that had been brewing for a couple of months. Based loosely on The Hobbit, this self-pleasing piece gave me the opportunity to live out a childhood fantasy to illustrate for book covers.Coincidentally, this was painted while I was teaching a class of 1st year animation students who had started the course in the middle of the year. To avoid confusion with another 1st year animation class that had started at the beginning of the year, these July intake students had been 'fondly' referred to as the Halflings.

You are one of many artist that inspires me to draw! Thanks.
wow, awesome !!!
Waaa,how on earth did u get such great textures and palette in?!?! Someone's been hiding and drawing in the sly!
Hahaha! Not hiding at all!
Textures are achieved through the use of preset brushes (grass and beard) and photographs (the dragon's scales are created with a picture of mud).
Beautiful work - I love the framing, and the movement... the mood you've set. Its just great :)
I love your blog! And I will be keeping an eye on it.
