#inktober day 25: TIRED: "Brian the Overworked" a month of wrangling dragons can be quite exhausting but the finish line is in sight! #inktoberdragons

A post shared by briankesinger (@briankesinger) on Oct 25, 2016 at 7:17am PDT

Като дете на 80-те, драконите винаги са ме вдъхновявали. Така и не разбрах защо все ги набеждаваха за лошите в историята…

Това споделя илюстраторът Брайън Кесинджър (Brian Kesinger), решил – в пристъп на носталгия по детските си книги и видеоигри – да реабилитира драконите.

В серия картинки, с подчертано ретро вид, Брайън си представя чудовищата, подхранвали въображението му някога, като миловидни, доста влюбчиви и дори плашливи същества.

Които, при това, никак не разбират защо разни рицари ги ръчкат с копия, докато се опитват да изпият следобедния си чай…

Драконите са реабилитирани в серия винтидж илюстрации
