This piece was created to honor my best friend and her fiance' as a wedding gift.  She is an illustrator and they both enjoy fantasy immensely.  The dress she is wearing is patterned to look like her wedding dress, and I used only their engaement photo as reference for their faces (all i had!).  Two of the cats are actually hers - same as the dragons - no, just kidding. :) It was a much bigger undertaking than I projected - i used prisma markers with prisma colored pencils on a 2 1/2 X 3 foot sheet of Arches Watercolor paper.  And I thought it would be quick! HA!!  Only took me a year plus...  There are many details, this small image sadly does not do them justice.

This is beautiful, a great work, congrats! Just a small criticism about the quality of the photo, it seem to damage a bit the colours, the white looks pink...?

This is cool. Nothing wrong with the colors that I can see (re: above comment). Looks more like the cover art for a children’s book than anything. I love the pet dragons.

My favorite part of this pic is the horses in the background. I love everything in that particular window. You are AMAZING to have the patience to finish something like this O.O
