Drakaina
We are pleased to announce that Drakaina will be joining us as one of our special guests.
Biography
Drakaina ... She was the first of her kind in France, and in Europe .. A Model raised to the rank of Modern Muse, inspiring artists, painters, writers and poets around the world since 2001 as well as influencing a whole new generation of models attracted by the potential of this ancestral form of artistic expression.
Today Drakaina lives in Canada, where she continues her modeling career.
In 2008 she released her first art book in Europe "Drakaina Fantasy of Desire" published by Spootnik Editions, followed in 2009 by the worldwide release of a second book "Drakaina, a Fantasy Art Muse" published by SQP Editions.
That same year she ranked # 2 on askmen.com ten most influential fantasy art models of all time, behind Julie Strain (who before retiring a few years back was known, among other things, for being the model who had lent her image to the main character of Heavy Metal FAKK2, sequel to the animated movie anthology Heavy Metal).
In 2010 and 2011 Drakaina was nominated for Faces Magazine Awards in the "Babe the Year" category, and was one of the guests of honor in the largest convention of Science Fiction in Canada, where she presented the first issue of the comic book at her image "Drakaina Untamed." The comic is a huge success, so much that it sold out in 48 hours. Late 2010 saw the release of her 3rd art book "Drakaina Masters", by SQP Editions, which received an excellent reception from the public, encouraging Drakaina to attend many meetings and book signings with her fans.
2011 marks the 10 years anniversary of Drakaina's career as a Fantasy Art Muse. The French girl has come a long way since her debuts in which she would receive dubious looks when trying to explain her activities to today, where she is invited to some of the biggest worldwide comic, Sci-fi and fantasy conventions and panels (including the San Diego Comic Con in July 2011) and has made a name for herself as a key reference in Fantasy art. During 2011, she will release a collector's art book combining the best photos of her career, and retracing a photographic journey through the past 10 years.
