I just couldn't bring myself to put "Uranus" in the title. I am such a dork. Do not read into the previous two statements....

Sooo... This is another of my favorite dragons that I've done. I was indeed thinking of Portuguese Man o' Wars, those funky jellyfish cousins who float across the surface of the ocean with the help of an inflated air bladder. I again went for a very alien-looking dragon, giving him lots of fins and frills and teeth and eyes and teeth and spots and teeth. Yes. I like sharp teeth.

I drew the dragon first with pencil. Then I went in with watercolor, hitting the dragon, background and moons with a blue-gray and violet wash. When that was dry, I placed the black bars on top and bottom. Then I did about 20 hours of colored penciling on the dragon itself - but not all at once. Never all at once. I'd go crazy.

I showed the original Uranean Man o' War for the first time at the Archon convention in 2003. It sold immediately. Wow. I honestly didn't see that one coming. It's so rare to get to sell an original.
