I CWTCH YOU, SNEW!

Recently, someone I know online who is Welsh explained to me the meaning of the Welsh word "cwtch". Urban dictionary says :

Welsh word for an affectionate hug. There's no literal English translation, but its nearest equivlent is "safe place". So if you give someone a cwtch, you're giving them a "safe place".

I really liked the sentiments of the word cwtch, and even though there's no English translation, I think we all undderstand what a cwtch is.
So earlier today, some of us were bandying about "cwtch" in chat, and I mentioned that I'd like to do a version of the Welsh flag where someone's 'cwtching' the dragon, and here it is!
I've painted the girl in the image to somewhat resemble Snew (the person who introduced me to cwtch). I used an image of Snew that she'd posted on some forums, and while I didn't portray her completely accurately, it's fair to say that this is a picture of Snew cwtching the dragon! I had to make up her hair since it wasn't in the picture.

I don't know if there are any rules concerning depictions of the Welsh flag, but it isn't my intent to offend anyone with this. I claim no copyright on the flag of Wales or the heraldic dragon either.

So! Here's something cute and silly to kick off 2011 for me! I have more serious stuff in the works as well, so stay tuned!
