Artist's Comments

At long last! The computer is well again (after unplugging and replugging in its brain--don't you wish that could work on people sometimes?) and here's the new dragon. From Warcraft III, the Frost Wyrm is the largest of the Undead flying units, and a real pain in the tush. I based the drawing on in-game screen shots, which really weren't as clear on the models as I would like. You know... those horribly dated graphics from all of 3 years ago. :roll: So some artistic liberties were taken. I drew this for Mola because he wanted a picture of a Frost Wyrm, and also because apparently I just can't seem to get enough of impossible dragon anatomy. Unfortunately no prints of this bad boy as I don't own the rights to the design--though it did occurr to me that it would make a pretty kick-ass tattoo design.

Scary !! Wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alley ! :sprint: Great work, Marie, as usual :clap: :hug:

Good job, the squeletal frame is well detailed and it really gives the impression it would look that way were it to really exist...;)

I like the pose also.

:hug: Thanks Cavale! Nice to see you are still alive and kicking out there. :)

When Mola first suggested to me that I draw a Frost Wyrm, this is the pose that came into my head. I wanted something aggressive, like it was about to pounce on you. (rawr) I then spent a lot of time studying the game model and building a mental model of what I wanted it to look like. After the rough sketch was done, it was hours and hours of detailing and research work. I lost track of how many different bone pictures I looked up on the internet. Did you know it's almost impossile to find a picture of a dinosaur pelvis that *isn't* a straight side view? I also learned (which I really should have known, but it just never occurred to me before I drew this picture) that one's thumb and one's big toe have one less joint in them than the rest of one's fingers and toes. Anatomy is weird! :o

:D Aye, this is the same concept as a dracolich, only in this case the Frost Wyrms were raised from their graves to serve the Lich King against their will. So needless to say they aren't real happy about that...
