February Artfest: Red Dragon Challenge by Chris Achilleos

Red Dragon Challenge by Chris Achilleos

While I don't particularly like the design of the red dragon there is nothing wrong with the way that this picture is composed. The female knight in the foreground with her massive shield ready to kill this mad lizard is clearly the wildest thing there. The backgrounds are neat and the castle at the top of the painting is grand, but look at all of that plunder she's been dragging along behind her!

That's one bad chick right there.

Berserker by Chris Achilleos

I don't play Dungeons and Dragons to imagine myself hiding in the back of the pack, hoping that the vile hordes never make it to me. I play it to the hill; climbing over the table and chucking dice at the Dungeon Master.

This painting by Chris Achilleos exemplifies how I play the game. Everything from the orc raising his club overhead to the knight leaping onto the hordes' outstretched shields just so he can be the first one to meet the enemy. I love this painting and I love this style of play.
