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 like the meaning behind this. I don't know where it came from, but sometimes I just like a piece of art more after I read the description. : ] Congrats on the Daily Deviation!

I really adore the idea of the message. I understand it as "Decide yourself what you want to do", sort of. I dunno whether it is it or not, but I really don't care either On the whole it's a real masterpiece!

I'm afraid that it is more a decision.
Dreams are one of the best inspirations

I read the strip twice, the artist's comment, and the DD comments, but...

My head hurts Why are dreams so complicated during MDP? (Memory Dumping Process)

This is a fantastic idea and I love it. I guess we can go far if we decide for ourselves what we want to be and what not.

When I first noticed this, it almost struck me as if I was being talked to by a kin-friend of mine; who just happens to be a dragon.

Favorite'd because it reminds me much of my own awakening, and what it means to be an Otherkin. :3

This is such a beautifully-drawn allegory, I definately want to add it to my favorites.
I'm especially impressed by the dragon's poses and the angles you drew him in. (at least, I'm guessing it's a "him")
