Instantly one of my favourite pieces of fantasy art!!! There's something tender about it, in the colours and clothing, something warm and cozy. Which is nicely contrasted with the blue, which enriches the composition but also feels pure, doesn't add any darkness or something to it. It looks like a quiet and loyal guardian creature you'd find in a wisened mage's library, or a proper hero character.I say, personally...Anyway, it's spectacular. Well done
