Fibromyalgia? Is the fairness of the world spent, or was there never any? ><

In light of this, dragons seem an appropriate motif - this encounter has undoubtedly ended with their bending to your will, and can only hope the fierce creatures haunting reality would do the same.

Before even mentioning the dragons, must say the milieu is absolutely exquisite. It has nearly everything a fantasy forest could ask for, from the mushrooms on the fallen trees and patches of grass struggling in the crags, to luminescent wellsprings and fairy-flowers. The tree on the right is especially impressive - even saying nothing about the execution, never was a rose shrub or cherry tree so utterly veiled in flowers. One could almost say there are three characters depicted (or four, counting one hidden...)

As for the dragons, the designs are nothing short of excellent - although must admit, as an enthusiast of classic, primitive dragons, the personal preference is strong here. While the rendering is highly detailed, very much enjoy how the designs (and you must pardon the choice of words my limited English vocabulary allows) are quite simple and down to earth. Many modern fantasy dragons are highly overdesigned at their own expense - these bring to mind not only classic medieval dragons, but also pulp literature from about a century ago, when composite dinosaurs were substituted as a "realistic" alternative to dragons. In the one on the right, seem to see a certain touch of Knight's Laelaps, or - save for the dorsal ridge - perhaps of Gurney's theropods. In the left, an unmistakable touch of Welsh dragon, and must say I am particularly fond of how you have captured the peculiar feline-avian stance and the banner-like tail.

The relation between the two offers a lot of questions. Different species seems as an obvious guess, but there are as many shared features as differences. A dragon and dragonet? Female and male? Dragoness weaning her kit? Or a simple chance encounter in a clearing - it could be any.

I do not have the technical knowledge to offer much meaningful critique, but if something comes off as slightly odd it is just how the wing assembly would work in practice. The torso seems very narrow, and while the ribcage is deep there seems to be no (visible) attachment from wing root to sternum - but then again, that is an issue people designing six-limbed vertebrates have struggled with for over a thousand years without any singular solution.



Wondrous work. Stay strong.
