SciFi and Fantasy Art Dragonslayer by Cristina Marsi

Oriole the Knightess of the Round Table (notice her famous sparkling yellow cloak) in a typical dragon-slaying-damsel-resquing situation.

I wanted to paint her as that sort of hermaphrodytes hero of baroque melodrama. So the huge horse and spear, the classical architecture of the temple, the bright landscape and the use of bright, almost impossible colours. I hope I managed somehow ;)
Watercolour and watercolour pencils on black ink drawing.

19 Jun 2004	Steph Steph Salt	Loading... I love the colours and the details, even in such a small picture, very baroque looking. Cristina Marsi replies: "Hey Steph, thanks for stopping by "
19 Jun 2004	Mike Burley	Loading... So much energy..... So much imagination :^) I know only too well how difficult it is to get the detail in when working on a small area....... can be very frustrating. As Sofers sez, The atmosphere of the moment is captured so well Cristina.......... Well done :^) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you Mike After looking at your gallery i feel quite ashamed of my work though "
19 Jun 2004	Sofie Lidén	Loading... Oooo! Great work Cristina!!! I love it. It would be perfect in a children's book, it's that kind of picture that makes your imagination work full time. The atmosphere is brilliant! Cristina Marsi replies: "Thanks Sophie It was great fun to draw this one, full of details as it is. Too bad the original is just 24*33 so some things like the knight's face are really too roughly done."
19 Jun 2004	Anonymous	Loading... I think the Damsel tied to the pillar is Ryant, the dragon must've taken a disliking to the bikini top though. Cristina Marsi replies: "LOL Don't be afraid of using your name, Binary we all know you have a softness for that bikini "
21 Jun 2004	Emelin Agnethe Melaa	Loading... Wow Cristina! =) I think this is one of your best artwork ever! It is so interesting, all the details, the feeling, the action, the colours... You can almost see how the horse is moving and how Oriole is giving the dragon its final blow. I look forward to your next artwork! Hugs from Morild Cristina Marsi replies: "Hi Morild, happy you like it I had great fun painting it, and now I'm looking forward for Oriole's reaction "
24 Jun 2004	Drig (char in nannyMUD)	Loading... I like how the Dragon's last thought is to try to protect it's horde (It is so believable that it would at the end cling/claw to it's treasure chest) I appreciate the maiden tied to the pillar - Now there is a damsel nicely clothed for Drig to save Wow but that is such a big... horse (what did you think I was going to say something else?) I like the colours and the building detail. Cristina Marsi replies: "Hi Drig, happy you like it "
