I painted a dragon for McFarlane's Myspace Art
Contest, and was selected as one of the winners.
That means I get a dragon toy and I get to be one
of their top friends. I'll enjoy that while it lasts.
The piece evolved as I was drawing the dragon's
details. I kept thinking of the cardinals that I was seeing on my bird feeders
at home - that's where the dragon's red color and dark spots around the eyes
came from. From that thought, I leapt to the idea that a catholic cardinal
could be riding him. A dragon in the service of the church sounded interesting
enough, and why not, religion is a strong element in the Spawn universe. It
gave me a lot of opportunity for ornamentation and the motivation to saw down
the dragon's horns and chain him to the monastery foundation.
