...I had the best comment written for this, and, despite my best answers to save it, my computer crashed, and now I have to rewrite it in a seething mood becasue--fo;ijhaq6ny7

The dragon's head is sharp and angular, like an axe's head. The jagged mouth, the razor-blade eyes, and even the horns and webbing contribue to this theme. It makes us focus more on the dragon looking at the pool rather than the dragon itself. With the glowing tear and the way the water catches most of the light, transposing it onto the reflection of the dragon, we come to the main theme of the piece.

The coloring is smooth and subtley shaded, making it look like there was no initial sketch for the piece. It is as though you made it from the colors, all in one go, unable to afford a single mistake without remaking the whole drawing. That is the surest sign of a true artist, and also the most impressive sign--being able to make something in one stage and having it come out so clear and neat from the get-go.

I could see how you might make the ripples in the water, but the way you stretched and distorted the reflection so that it looks like a reflection in water is perhaps the best effect you have achieved here. The symmetry of the piece is great, with the stars, dragon, and tear all being doubled. The cool maroon on the horizon with the purples and blues creates a soothing nighttime arena.

You are perhaps the best all-around artist I watch. Photography, traditional, computer-assisted, whatever. I don't fav more of your work is that I am afriad it will seem like I am biased to anyone who viewed my Favs gallery, and because in order to fv one of your works, I'd have to fav them al, or none, because it is so hard to choose one to stand out from the others. It is refreshing, too, so see someone do original artwork consistently, as opposed to some of my other Watched who do fanart after fanart of other artists. Whom am I to give credit for that kind of work all the time? I wasjust thinking about that, and thought you should hear it sooner than later. Very well done
