Description This one is based on a dream I had which was part day residue, part symbolism. The dialogue translates almost directly into a conversation I had shortly before going to bed about certainty in relationships and the idea of being in love as a conscious decision rather than an uncontrollable force. The White Knight represents the person I had the conversation with.

I wish I'd used some kind of reference while doing it, as I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out how things should look. Some readers noted that Cyaneus has gotten more eastern looking--or at least longer. Overall I'm happy with it. I drew the panels so large that each them of them is desktop size or larger, and the last one is actually my current desktop.

i wish i could remember any of my dreams, it's interesting the dragon's poses and faces, also the dialogue sounds like my dad's stories... You will be whatever you want if you believe it.

Congrats for the DD C:

Thinking of a dragon as a very intelligent nad long-lived creature that loves mental exercise (to keep their mind busy over the reams of years) this could be the beginning of a deep and exceptional friendship.

Nice... I like it. The drawings could be a lot more detailed, but as the point was the story, it turned out. The 9th panel was a bit off what I was expecting. As a whole, it's good - I like the idea of telling a story and not just going gung-ho with the visual part. Cheers!

Ooh. I started reading this with a bit of a "huh" as to the beginning when the dragon attempts to get the knight to fight him...

The last panel was very nice though. Very simple and very touching.

great job
i love the message. it's so true, that there are two kinds of love; one is the feeling and one is the decision to put someone else before yourself in importance.

looks like you put tons of effort into this also!
well-deserved DD

So awesome.

i gotta say this is one of my fav's because of the idea. i mean..it's just wonderful. he questions his part and who he is. is he the white night cause he wants to be or cause that's what he's used to and what others r telling him.
i think it's something that anyone questions himself in some point in his life
for me, its absolutly beautiful and with such inspration and a great metafor.
i loovee it!

I decided to be a dragon way back when but revolving doors, taxicabs and subways are not so conducive to a draconic lifestyle so I changed back.

this reminds me of something... something i've read somewhere... not the exact dialect, but just another wonderfully written, flowing piece of writing (/comic?)
the style is what i mean to say.
or maybe i don't know what i'm saying (I just woke up)
brilliant, besides

That last sentence the dragon gives is extremely powerful, just as a sentence in itself and the way you layed it out within the comic.. strip.. thing.

Anyway, I really love this. It's amazing. I could watch it for hours, even if just the last panel.
