Hear us you hideous beasts
Never will fade away
the cry of men, never again scaly tyranny!
Your nasty saurian head
Never will fade away
the cry of men, never again scaly tyranny!
Your nasty saurian head
we'll split in two - forever we shall all be free!
Original Title: "Vorbei mit schuppig' Tyrannei"
Finally done... this project waited about 9 months to be finished, I worked on and off with long breaks in between.
My goal was to archive the look and feel of a classical battle scene as seen on old paintings, and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome.
I had to paint and repaint tons of details - as much as on no other artwork before, but I think I learned a lot among this journey.
