One of the illustrations for 'Telling Tales', a collection of the school's creative writing, which I edited, illustrated and presented. This drawing was used as an illustration for a poem about, well, a dragon. The style was inspired by various sculptures by Hap Henriksen.
Reminds me strongly of an Escher piece [link] . I wonder if Hap Henriksen was directly inspired by that Escher piece, or if perhaps they both drew inspiration from a prior artist?

I'm not sure. I suspect both artists were inspired by a prior representation of a dragon - a manuscript, perhaps. But Escher has been a big influence on me too (there are a few tessellations, patterns and metamorphoses knocking about in my gallery).
By the way, how would you feel about a "tessellation tennis match"? By that, I mean that one of us starts by posting a tessellation pattern. The next artist must show a picture with that tessellation along one side, but slowly morphing into another pattern along the opposite edge. We then simply continue offering morphs of the pattern, until one person gives up. Sort of like a volley in tennis, or like one of Escher's lengthy tessellation morph banners.
I'd even create a special gallery for the images, at tessellations.org

A collection of the most beautiful and amazing square photographs I found among my favourites. Please have a look and give these artists the attention they deserve!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
