Description In the year 2980, in the age of dawning, the second twilight war rages on, across most of the known world, the evil armies of goblins, orcs, ogres, and dark trolls have been fighting the shaky alliance of elves, humans (who are just barbarians in this ancient age) and minotaurs(who had enslaved humans to build their brutal empire, thus the animosity) when the scions appears and nearly defeated the dark armies, but then five ancient chromatic dragons awoke from thousands of years of slumber and as their dark goddess bids them, attacks the elf, human and minotaur armies with great might. This is just one of the battles of the second twilight war that lasted nearly 195 years, involving nearly all races, major ones at least. The dragon is Xantheres the red, obliterating all those stubborn minotaurs who fearlessly, but vainly charge him. Two weeks of drawing, my hand was killing me. mechanical pencil, march 2003.

holy hell that's a lot of detail. even if it's representative shading, you pull it off nicely. What size is the original?

I put another piece of clean papaer under my hand white I draw, just under the part of my hand that is touching the drawing.

Yes, those minotaurs are so stubborn and proud that they would never turn from an enemy, even one that is nigh unstoppable.
