The Dragon Lords of Mu

One of the most absolute joys of my art career has been the acquisition of the knowledge of the anatomy of realistic dragons consistent with the evolution of archosaurs, dinosaurs, non-avian dinosaurs, avian dinosaurs (All birds), mammalian bats, and pterosaurs. Hint: Dragons walk on their wings and swim like fish in the sea. They hunt, and they scavenge.

The models used as characters in the image were my then-boss Victor Reubens Mendosa, Debbie Budguinness from Saddleback College, and Ming Boezhai from Hong Kong.

This render was drawn, painted, penciled, inked, and completed at a home owned by my parents during the New Year week in 1981.
