I haven't posted in a couple of weeks - too tired and forgetful. Anyway, the week before last Jan gave us the project of drawing an interior anatomy of one of our mythical beasts. We'd looked at several slides of anatomical diagrams from Western and Eastern art and I particularly loved the Tibetan ones, so I took the flavour of those lovely diagrams and explored my Lionagon. Jan also had some coloured vellum which is slightly transparent so I drew the two diagrams as "layers" to place over my original drawing, like medical textbooks with transparencies of body systems.
Maps are the focus of this week and next week so there is no finished work yet, stay tuned.

Wow, and here I thought that lionagons were simply filled with fiery fumes and live magma. Admittedly this explains better how they move about. Thank you for adding solid scientific backing to your mythical art.
