Dragon Hunter

This is a drawing from a book I illustrated with the very talented writer Martin Howard called 'The Dragon Hunter's Handbook'. The main character of the story I based on my wife, and here she is done up in her full Dragon Hunting regalia. I failed of creating an interesting and unique female warrior design here. Not that this is an easy task these days, as every possible inch of territory in this realm has been visually explored, especially by artists who design games. The Japanese and Korean artists are truly amazing in this area. Sadly, and for reasons that made little sense, I was very constricted by my editors in the design of this costume, and it shows.

At least I got away with giving her a little 'happy trail'.
