This is an H.R. Giger airbrush painting of an adult anthropomorphic dragon, upright but seated and fused into a spherical egg chamber so the figure and the room are one biomechanoid. The head is a dragon skull stretched the way Giger stretches a cranium: long hollow snout, recessed wet sockets, swept horns that are open pipes and that punch through the shell of the chamber and become part of the exterior. There is no clean line between scale and machine. The same bone-ivory, gunmetal, and sickly olive surface is skin, plate, hose, and rib, ribbed tubing growing out of the throat, the sternum, and the tail as if those were always the same organ. The body is still anthro: two arms with too many joints, digitigrade legs locked into a throne of vertebrae, a long tail that does not lie on the floor so much as continue as a spinal column of dormant eggs, each egg a pale ovomorph with a biomechanical seam, clustered along the tail like extra vertebrae. Membrane is present only as thin wet webbing stretched over bone spars that are also the walls of the sphere; they are not fantasy dragon wings. He is completely still, looking slightly down, a relic grown in place. The airbrush is monochrome bone, tar, and dead green with a greasy metallic sheen, no color on the scales, no heroic silhouette, no gap between creature and architecture. reddyrenard
