Wow Kathy! That is one of the greatest faces on a dragon I've ever seen. I was just mesmerized by the way you made him look untamed yet tamed at the same time. Your detail and colors are amazing...thanks for letting us into your magical world again.

There are already a billion comments on here about how good this is, but I couldn't help but add another one because it really is that good. Your attention to detail is great, and the dragon is so well-imagined. Beautiful.

How come SHE gets to have a dragon? This is such a lovely illustration. The fabric of her tunic is just amazing. This needs to be on a book.
