Ja, OK, it’s an alien. But at first I thought it was some kind of deformed dragon demon thing.
Anyway, I like her expression. And breast. And painting.

This is undoubtedly from some movie I would hate. I’ve almost never seen a Hollywood dragon I liked. The two exceptions would be How To Tame Your Dragon (which I’ve mentioned has a hot baby-domme character) and The Hobbit (I hope).

The artist, Grigbertz, seems to have a very complicated D&D-related storyline behind his pictures, almost all of which involve chain bondage.
Although I’ve never seen this in writing, I have a hunch that the cover artists of the old pulp fantasy/sci-fi magazines must have shifted heavily into (a) role-playing-game artwork, and (b) heavy-metal album covers. It’s the same style and content.
Above, Boris Vallejo, the Picasso of pulp.

Anonymous asked: I'm such a fan of your site, and I'm dismayed that you seem to've stopped posting. Is all well?
Thanks for the note. I’ve been a little bit swamped dealing with medical issues and work. I hope I’ll have more time for this blog shortly. In the meantime, I think there are a few more dragon images to discuss…
Speaking of D&D…..I don’t like pictures of elves.
I guess in this instance it’s moot, because of the dragon, but a whole lot images that are not otherwise genre-specific have pointy ears on the characters. So it’s gotta be elves, and whatever other story I might want to overlay the image with has to deal with the elf thing.
Very annoying.

In 1974, Gary Gygax produced the game Dungeons and Dragons. Aesthetically, it was very much derived from J.R.R. Tolkein (and other authors who were in turn Tolkein derivatives). But structurally, it was a radically new genre: a “board game” with no board, centered on a story-teller whose story was modified by the players.
I wasn’t even born in ‘74, and by the time I learned about Dungeons and Dragons, it had a spawned a whole slew of its own derivatives: role-playing games. They had also acquired a somewhat noxious reputation as escapist pursuits for geeky white boys (and, in other quarters, Satanic suicide cult demonic wa-wa).
Dungeons and Dragons had (and has) a fairly signature aesthetic, which easily spilled over into the erotic. This drawing is a perfect example.

Oooo, blood and dragons! Another two-for-one.
This is from Michael Manning’s version of the Nieblungenlied. Manning is probably better known to readers of this blog as a famous pen-and-ink fetish pornographer. Sigurd is making himself invulnerable using the famous dragon’s-blood-body-wash technique.

Of course, not all dragons are hungry all the time. And sometimes the chains don’t get in the way at all.
