    Old illustration of a Komodo Dragon I dug up.

    I did this back in 95 or 96 while in art school. This was done in pen and ink using a stipple technique like my recent bearded dragon illustration. I scanned the original pen and ink and layered some brown tones on top of it using photoshop. This is a picture (see camera flash) of a printed copy. Just thought you herpers might appreciate it.

    Re: Old illustration of a Komodo Dragon I dug up.

    Thanks a million for all the kind words everyone. This one took much longer than the Beardie did due to it's size. The Bearded Dragon is about 10.5"H X 14"W while the Komodo is bout 3' nose to back. I am not sure how long it took because I worked on it when time permitted for an entire year of school.

    JLC,

    One dot at a time

    Thanks again everyone.

    Very cool! Stippling is murder to my senses! I respect you a ton for doing that method.. it is tedious but honestly it is stunning looking.
