Artist's Comments

A gift for my soulsis, :icontheslink: (aka "Aisling the Dream Dragoness"), and her mate Jonny (aka "Nameless the Illusion Dragon"), along with a raven clutching their wedding rings as well as a symbolic sun, moon and eclipse. I bought this nifty parchment stationary the other day and just had to try drawing something monochrome and ancient-looking on it (being that I'm heavily inspired by Brian Froud), plus I've really been wanting to draw Aisling's lovely new dragonform ever since she adopted it. (And sis, I took a bit of artistic license on Jonny's char; I know his neck isn't supposed to be that long, but I wanted you two to be roughly symmetrical.) :) :heart:

Edit: Added a huge watermark to this, as it seems to be a very popular image to steal, repost and/or make prints of, to have made into tattoos, to or print on various products (cross-stitch designs, clothing, etc.) to sell on the Net. I have NOT given my permission for ANY of this, so PLEASE STOP IT, PEOPLE!! And if you see this image posted anywhere but in my own galleries (being sold or otherwise), please tell me! And thanks SO MUCH to all of you who have been keeping their eyes open for me regarding theft of my work!!

Wow. The symmetry, the symbolism... It's just...it has a very classical feeling to it, even though it was made in a modern age. Very cool, she's go bananas for it. :3

Beautiful drawing, gorgeous dragons..the lines, the shading, the celtic knots(Those are HARD to draw. oo) all of it. It looks wonderful on that parchment aswell, I'm so jealous of your talents. x3 The symbolism with the rings, moon, and eclipse are awesome too, this is just so pretty. Favorite from me!

The secret to my happiness is I have the heart of a 12 year old child. I keep it in a jar over there. Want to see it? - Old Vaudeville.

wow..this is very nice, and very well done!

I really like the Celtic knotwork (is that what that's called?)
