My constant companion

I did this drawing in 2011 when I was writing my Honours thesis: ,

It actually took me two years to complete because of my workload. Honours was a torturous time for me. The only thing that drove me forward was my dreams and aspirations. Drawing is the process by which I consolidate wh I am. The drawing is a process of my being. This was not being respected during my time in Sydney and this is the major reason why I am not living there. Aquiline is my alter ego and in this life, which has been a solitary psychic struggle until quite recently, Aquiline is my inner shadow self, a large part of my spirit. When I draw Aquiline I feel what it is like to be Aquiline. I feel the power in his muscles and the fluidity of his movement. His body taut like a coiled spring and ready for action, is pelt glimmering and metallic like flowing thick water. Aquiline's eyes are forever watchful, missing nothing inthe darkness in the void that is the underbelly of human nature, and challenging what is dangerous with their firey crimson hue. I feel unity and harmony within myself. I kept looking at this drawing regularly to remind myself of my personal power and that no-one could beat me into submission or make me become anything that was not true to my nature. I gave the original away but I did scan it before doing so. I printed out a copy and pinned it to a kitchen cupboard. In the morning it looks really awesome because I made kitchen curtains out of shock which is an aquamarine colour with a yellow metallic sheen. During this time,the kitchen is bathed in the colour and energy of Aquiline. It feels good to see that my psychic self has a physical expression, a space were it can be visible without having to fight for the right to be.

Prodraco reddiegoniensis

I am perfect.
Your thoughts are irrelevant.
You don’t count.
I am a mighty Reddiegonian Dragon.

Point is,
you can’t sway me.
See my crocodile jaws,
I can snap a horse in half.

Must admit,
Frying you would amuse me more.
Smell the pungent aroma of singeing live meat,
with smoking, flared nostrils.
Hear shrill, uncanny, moribund squeals,
with sabre-shaped ears.
See the dying writhe in flames,
with blood hued eyes.

Why?
There is no why.

I Kill, therefore I am.
Purposeful, just Lord Flickertongue
gifted me as embodiment of Death.

A predator?!
No!
I am more!
Predators kill to eat.
I Kill because I can,
because it’s ecstasy.

And I will Kill and Kill and Kill,
until nothing remains.
For I am more than Death.
I am Total Destruction.

Prodraco reddiegoniensis

The Reddiegonian Dragon or Reswobian Swift Crocodile (Prodraco reddiegoniensis) are animals the occupy the North West of Reswobia, where they live in a gigantic caldera and the surrounding desert with it's shifting sand dunes. Visibility is very poor here because of the volcano puffing aways as well as the dragons themselves producing oily fumes due to the actions of their fire breathing apparatus. They are the genetically modified products of Flickertongue whose main purposes are to dig up the global crsut and allow the magma to take over the land and evaporate the sea. That is the way the legend goes anyway, whether Flickertongue and Psycorn exist is a matter of contention. Most in Reswobia don't believe this to be true.

Prodraco has long legs rather like a horse with a long tail that ends in a whiplash. There are spines that line the back and they have an erectile spiky frill. they not only have bat-like wings but bat-like ears and a nose leaf. Due to the limited visibility of their home they do tend to make use of echolocation to navigate their world. They have throat pacth with has an eye spot for display purposes. Generally they are red all over but it tends to fade into yellow on the underside. Above is an image of a young dragon. (The other creature below it is an ornithomimosaur complete with a beak). It is another set of images I produced when I was stressing over a maths assignment. The image below is one of an adult dragon that I did back in 2005 that I have included her for comparison. There is a volcano in the background.
