Description
"It was very dreary being a dragon. He shuddered whenever he caught sight of his own reflection ... He hated the huge, bat like wings, the saw-edged ridge on his back, and the cruel, curved claws. He was almost afraid to be alone with himself and yet he was ashamed to be with the others."-Voyage of the Dawn Treader

This is one of the best scenes in The Chronicles of Narnia. It always stood out throughout the years for me since it shows the greatest change in any of the characters - in more ways then one. I'm so happy i did this painting, this image has been in my head for so long - I'm so glad its on paper now
also, done in watercolor and took about 20+ hours to finish.Find my work on Etsy:

Well, due to my over active mind I already have the first chapter written (okay, I've been thinking of the words for two days so...). So feel free to take a look

Hooray for dragons! I am reading The Chronicles of Narnia for the first time, and I am completely ashamed of myself for having not picked them up any sooner (oh well, at least I didn't go a whole life time without them ^_^)

They are great books, which book are you on? That's the beauty about them, you can pick em up at any age

I am currently reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They really facinating books that you can truly read at any age. Then again, any good book (whether it is aiming the youth or not) is worthy for anyone to pick up at any given age. If it is that good, you have no reason to read it a age 105 if it still gives you innocent, childish pleasure. Of course, I'm really babbling now

looks hard to do... but you guys (that includes my daughter) finds them easy

It takes a lot of practice but once you're used to it (as I'm sure your daughter knows) it becomes second nature

Awww...this is so cool. This is a very powerful scene indeeed.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my favourite book out of the whole series, and I'm so happy to see another true fan!

Tell me about it! Voyage and The Last Battle are my two favorites, but then I read them all again and I can't decide

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the whimsy of the watercolor with this scene and am incredibly jealous of your clean lines. The feelings you capture here are just *perfect* and in harmony with that scene. Well done!

-I'm reading through The Voyage of the Dawn Treader again for the nth time in my life *has lost count* and found this lovely work of yours roughly an hour or so ago when I went through DA's search engine with the keyword, "Reepicheep"
this is one of the best pieces I've ever seen (and such a good moment captured here too... I wish I could have heard some of those tales that Reep had to tell- him being a Narnian, he'd know so many good stories that people like me miss out on -sigh-)
-I'd say more, but I've got to get to work soon *end quickie comment*

Yay! Love Narnia, I actually didn't read the title, was too busy going Oooo pretty dragon to notice but as soon as I saw Reepicheep I knew it was Narnia, great picture!

My fave is actually Puddleglum because he is kind of like a frog...probably mostly the BBC Narnia series fault that I'm so obsessed with Puddleglum cos they are my earliest memory of Narnia. Don't know if I read the books first or not.

hehe Puddleglum is up there for me too

Thanks man! I will always have a place for this painting in my heart

That was one of my favourite points of that chapter... the fact that of everyone on the Dawn Treader, Reepicheep was Eustace's most constant comforter...
Beautifully done!
