That's a lengthy amount of time by almost any reckoning, especially for a web site dealing with an alternative subgenre of fantasy art and literature. I'm proud of this site, and I stand by everything that I have posted to it over the past 60+ months. But five years is bound to result in some sort of personal evolution, and I have found my own skills changing and (as far as I can tell) getting better with the passage of time. And inevitably, I found myself looking back at the earliest art posted here, and thinking that those drawings that I was once so vastly proud of now made me cringe. So here may be found dozens of drawings that no longer please me. They are among the first crop of digital artwork ever spawned from my own twisted mind, and while I have surpassed them in skill, they hold a certain nostalgic charm that keeps me from deleting them entirely. If it ever comes to the point where I must remove the old to make room for the new, you can be sure that these images will be taken from the Menagerie (though I am sure to save everything I do, somewhere). But for now, enjoy a trip back through time to an age where the artist known as StormDrake wasn't as good an artist as he is now. Heh. All content is © 1998 - 2006 StormDrake, unless otherwise noted.
