After losing the egg, Co'Diak journeys south to New Avalon, where the dragons have told him the lost egg is.

Done entirely in Photoshop from scratch. Drawn with a mouse. :\

I added the paw print over his face and touched up some minor details.

Very effective illustration. There is definitely a story within and behind it, and a great deal of movement as well.

:-) Ryan Bourret replies: "Your in luck. I have some new pictures of Co'Diak in a slightly different style on the way."

Bear in a cape. Somehow this looks so majestical. Very good illustration for a tale like in the description, they really look like seeking for something.

Ooh, I like the paw print on the bear's face. Good job on the eagle too!

:-) Ryan Bourret replies: "Thanks, I like the paw print too. I'm not so fond of that eagle, but thanks!"

Oh, and a possible reason for why you aren't too fond of that eagle is because it has a hole in it. Just trying to help.

You did this with a MOUSE???? Holy crap! It must have taken forever! But DEFINITELY worth the time and wrist cramps, if you ask me. Now I am heartened, for I, a fellow mouse-drawer, see new possibilities in my tabletless existence.
