:: The May Challenge::
You have until the end of May to submit your entry to the May 2011 Entries folder.
You must draw one of the following 3 types of Dragon taken from Dr Ernest Drake's Dragonolgy set of books.
The Knucker (Draco troglodytes)
The Asian Lung (Draco orientalis)
The Wyvern (Draco africanus)
I'd prefer it if you did not combine the types as they live in drastically different enviroments and would probably never meet unless in the cages of a collector or zoo.
Please see the journal
[link] for full descriptions.
Please do not copy the images from the Dragonology books, they are not stock.
::Rules::
