Fascinating usually one might see men and or knights slaying something like this such as dragon serpent thing. I am familiar with the Magic Flute, be it however the version I am familiar with (modern retelling) was the first act opening scene pretty much and Tamino going up against a dragon. The change being in this case that these three lades were more portrayed as like magical faeries stuck in the service of the queen of the night, but alas that is just one from the original concept by Mozart. I like the image itself and the way you dew the serpent and the way these ladies, which brings to the modern term, girl power. :) :thumbsup:
Also I think is a lovely sketch work even if it is an old piece by your standards, I still like it, as kt is a new image to my eyes.

That's an amazing dragon - and three very belligerent ladies! These ones certainly can do more than sing!

Ahhh, so amazing. I have never even heard of this opera (but then again, i haven't heard of many, if any, operas), but this definitely piques my interest. :)

Sieh an, ein deutscher Titel :)
You are a fan of Mozart, aren't you? I love your delicate handwriting and the outlining of your sketches. I wish I could watch you work, there'd be things to learn for me for sure. Seems like you found your style a while ago, if this is a few years old. I'm, as usual, impressed.

Ok, I'll join the army of the others - oh poor serpent :giggle:
Now, what else - the gown of the Lady in the first plan - most beatiful folds... I like the type of serpent, too. You could've gone more lizard, more dragon, more.. else. Still, this one is just perfect for Mozart.
Very dinamic, that's what I like ;)

I love your style -it reminds me a lot of illustrations and drawings from old books. And let me just say this is one battle I would like to witness!

I love how the flow of the serpent's body is reflected in the women's clothing. Never has violence looked so gorgeous. ;)
