Description Ancalagon the Black.
Sorry for rather poor quaility but it's only a photo - the picture is too big (size A3) to scan it.

Full view please.

Ink and pencil.

Ancalagon (c) J.R.R. Tolkien

Now that is a Dragon and I wonder if he fights Godzilla in an alternate universe.

Thanks. Sadly the technical pens I drew this dragon with don't work any more. But ink pens give quite similar outcome (like here, for example: the-black-panther.deviantart.c… .

It was send as an entry to the competition "Dragons in the world of Tolkien" and as far as I remember there was no option of sending back the artwork D:

Thanks Back then I had my technical pens working. Ink pens unfortunately don't give quite the same effect

Yes, it took a while. Missing my rapitographs - can't use them any more, because I'm not able to clean them of dry ink (and when I do this they stop working after short time).

Would you believe I don't even have this artwork any more? It was drawn for a competition and they were not returning drawings after it was finished

noleme In reply to The-Black-Panther [2011-12-30 23:10:13 +0000 UTC]

That sounds like one suspicious contest... Wonder what they did with the pictures. Unless it was in a foreign country or something, then I'd understand.

I wish I could offer some advice on how to get rid of the ink, but alas, I haven't drawn using ink since high school.

The-Black-Panther In reply to noleme [2011-12-30 23:20:02 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps it's still stored somewhere. I think that I could have asked about returning the picture after the contest was finished, but now so many years have passed that there is no point any more.

Drawing pens give quite similar effect to ink - and they never dry. The main difference is visible when you compare original pictures Ink is a bit protuberant and more shiny than pigment ink.

More of what's amazing! It looks so real as though to leap from the page--er, screen. I'm in wonder at the shading and detail: the scales, the wings, the sinew... I'm in awe, and frankly, I'm envious.

Jest tu już tyle pochlebnych komentarzy, a nie zwykłam powtarzać po raz setny to samo po innych, jednak ten rysunek jest naprawdę świetny!
Na deviancie jestem początkująca i nie wiem, jak tu się dodaje cokolwiek do ulubionych (bo chyba się da, prawda?), jednak jeślibym potrafiła, to bez wątpienia zrobiłabym to.
Co do podobieństwa do Ancalagona z mojej wyobraźni to, niestety, nie mogę się wypowiedzieć, bo zwyczajnie nie wiem, cóż to jest za stwór xD

Very nice. Good old Ancalagon, a pity he only had about 2 pages of reference in the Silmarillion. Darn Glaurung hogging it all. Anyway great job.

*whistle* What a great way to portray this character! You sure got "the black" right! In other words - Amazing ink job!! wow. I can't help but just to...stare at this...and let my jaw drop. How you can cram so much detail into such a heavily inked picture, I'll never know! I love the background too!
