Description
In his youth, Rupert wasn't exactly known for his wisdom. It seems the young pheonix managed to get himself into a staring contest with Bladewind, and knowing Rupert, he probably started it. From the description of Bladewind, I doubt she would be one to back down from a challenge.What a fun/challenging piece to work on! It was done for the Bladewind Challenge contest, which can be found here: [link] It took work, definitely living up to its name of a challenge, but I'm proud of how well the piece turned out.

Ohh, this is wonderful. I love it. My eyes just keep searching for all these little details, I especially love the faint, faint scaling along the face. Just enough to suggest the texture without overwhelming the shape of the dragon itself.

Thank you, the scales are actually one of my favorite parts as well.

I am going to lose XD
I knew I wasn't going to win anyway, but I'm still making an entry, just to challenge myself (that contest is really well-named XD)
I love your idea X3 It's so amusing.. and I find myself staring at the pair staring at each other X3
Your coloring is awesome

You'll never know until you try XD. Your entry might just blow the rest of us away
One of my main reasons to enter is the same as yours: I wanted to challenge myself (Oh boy, did it ever XD) Part of the fun was thinking about how the two characters might react to each other, and that's where the idea came from

What a creative little idea! You made it into a great picture too. I see you put a lot of work not only into Bladewind and Rupert, but also the background! Lovely work, I shall go add it to the listing right away

Thank you very much! I entered your contest partly to stretch my artistic skills, partly because it would be fun, and it lived up to both. You've put a lot of thought into developing Bladewind as a character, making her very fun to paint.
