Description It´s finished! GotG is the main reason why I wasn´t posting new art for some time (it took 3 weeks, maybe about 30 hours). This is the illustration for my very first (and last) poem called "Guards of the Gate" which should have a place in our Czech short-story book The Shadows of Wings written by many members of our draci.info community. It´s written only in Czech but for you - it is about two Dragons guarding the magic Gate to the land of fantasy. Uninvited intruder want to go through and destroy all dreams, magic and fantasy because he doesn´t understand them . At the end of this story, he is burned by Dragons which is why the fantasy stayed with us... The poem is very symbolic for me, but not high-quality ( I am not a poet : )

I drew an illustration with the same theme in 2005 www.draci.info/users/pics/view… but I wanted to draw new one, better
