this old relic icon of Saint George was brought from imperial Russia hundreds of years ago........ Just kidding! I made it out of a piece of brass, I drew the design on with pencil and them embossed the shapes into the metal with tools, treated it with acid and tarnished it so it would look like it was brought from imperial Russia hundreds of years ago!
Anyone who can sliegh a dragon is alright by me! LOL thanks for looking.

I'm sorry that I'm unable to reply to all comments nowadays but I do appreciate them. Thank you for looking and for the kind comments!

I don't really think killing a dragon was too hard for him. I mean look at what it took to kill him. I haven't heard of anyone since that would be able to survive being boiled in lead, quartered by horses, and beheaded twice. It does look like an old Russian icon, produced by some sad sap who was sold into a backwoods monastary in the icey tundra (shuddering to think). But the care you create these with is mind boggling. I love how he appears as a simple soldier, not slaying. I think that his time as a warrior enabled him to tolerate his later life.
