*There sits Sigurd, spattered with blood, Fafnir's heart
at the fire he roasts,
wise I would consider the ring-spoiler [generous man]
if he ate the shining life-steak [heart].

It turned out great Meli! The chiaroscuro really brings out the drama in the scene, nice work ; )
Wow!!! This tremendous and an epic piece of art. Truely magnificent and grand. Thanks for the lesson as well. I love learning new things especially when there is great artwork involved. Thanks for sharing Meli.
Me agradmucho. Me encanta la forma en que le das vida a cada uno de tus dibujos, casi se puede sentir el ambiente que redea a tus persionajes. Es un buen trabajo. Excelente. ;)
Now we talkin'or singin', hehe. Got real light and depth with line and texture, and great composition. Etzel? Edsel? ATTILA ATTILA ATTILADAH HUN HUN HUN?...Whuh's mah Aetius? Whuh's mah Nietzsche Contra Wagner, hehe.
Great art and so very nice of you to tell the story.Wow, Synapse is modeling :o) Wagner is very intense..
Brava, brava Meli!! La vostra arte il la cosa migliore. Il vostro talento phenominal e porta la gioia! sempre un piacere osservare la vostra arte. Your art is the best. Your talent is phenominal and brings joy! It is always a pleasure to view your art.
It is, indeed, intense, and you have presented it very well. My compliments, Meli, a superb job!

This is a great tale and I see a great artist!Her work is a gift as well as a talent.I am blessed to behold it :)
I really like the richness of the drawing most excellent work. :O)
Your talent is fantastic!!! Wonderful stile from you!! Fabulous! Thank you for that! Kiss Eva
i like the way the dark trees(?) frame the two protagonists. i also like the images that show the evolution of the drawing. you always impress with your pencil skills :))
Fantastic artwork, Meli!!!! Beautifully composed with a wonderful use of your medium in an excellent work of art!!!
Magnifique illustration de cette fabuleuse lende Meli!
Nel 2D sei la mia preferita... non c'cosa che fai che non mi piaccia... mi regali sempre forti emozioni. Questo capace d' immergermi in quella scena... grazie alla posizione del tuo sguardo che hai voluto tenere mentre disegnavi... Brutta situazione per il ragazzo ;)... E' giin fase di stampa questo... sai un fan un fan! Cmq Meli sei sempre magnifica... continua cos N.B. Mi chiedevo... ma quanta 2B ti partita sugli alberi? ;))) Un bacione Emi
Bel lavoro, complimenti. Ci sono dei dettagli tecnici di cui vorrei parlarti...
Masterpiece in pencil work!!! BRAVO!!!!
Vorrei essere bravo con Bryce come sei brava tu con la matita Mi piace il tuo drago! :) :) :)
Most amazing work as always.. you are really Da Vinci with pencil ;)
very well done meli! the shading & compo are outstanding, luv the dragon! :D
Nice job...I like how you utilize white/gray/black in your sketches. So many artists seem to shy away from using dark shading. It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't. (Regardless of the theme's influence, mind you :) )
Splendid pencil work, Meli, this is wonderfully done.... I'm speechless in front of such a wonderful scene !
excellent dear Meli. beautiful image and i love it even more since it's Wagner as you know. :-) thank you for posting it!
WOW! Absolutely stunning! Fantastic work!!!!
It is really a very nice piece. What astonishes me - the dragon looks friendly, surprised. Sigurd is a very young guy, and not threatening at all.
I like the way you framed the center with darkness, I like the diagonal composition coming from the two "persons". I don't like that you cut off Sigurd's feet...
you have wagner`s nibelungen saga, painted in a beautiful picture. the instant before the fight. very well. an embrace. yours gregor
I love this Meli... so much depth, so much style.
bravo. well done indeed. its neat seeing work in progress. This is a far cry for the first posting. Very nice!
Favoloso Melania wowww che pathos in questa scena e che dettagli sei mitica bacioni ed abbracci tua per sempre amica Orietta ti voglio bene ciao ^_^
