Standing about two feet at the shoulder and about 4 feet from beak to tip of tail, the house dragon is not a pet for the faint of heart. At hatching, they bond for life with their owners and, being both loyal and fearsomely protective, "outsiders" must be introduced slowly and with caution. Some breeds of house dragon are more amenable to training than others. The Suede Skinned Sally Meander is a good example. However, the breed shown here, the Tiger dragon, can behave quite independently of its owner's wishes. A strong will and consistent, firm training will be necessary for those who choose a Tiger dragon for a companion. (5 years and 3144 days ago)
It's so cute! Poor 'lil guy, look at his expression... I love it, very neat and tender work.
Sweeeeeet!
Wonderful detail in the dragon skin -- bonus for the story
Beautiful work
There's going to be a dragon beating LOLOLOLOL
(you'd love the Menolly of Pern.. (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums) wonderful pet firelizards in those stories 
(she Had 9 "House Dragons" and Beauty (the gold firelizard queen) would wrap her tail around her neck and look like a necklace 
(you'd get some wondrous visuals from those stories.. especially when they describe them singing or when they blink into BETWEEN)
EDIT: LOL Author
Very nice chop Author.
wow, this is awesome!
Good grief, Slushy! You don't beat house dragons! Didn't you notice the claws and beak? Its safer to just clean the mess up.
Amazing entry author,this dragon is one of the best and cutest i ever seen in my life...For my taste,this is the master piece,and i love the story behind the image...Once more,clap,clap from me....
edit:and before voting i know was u...
Lovely piece very well crafted!! Along with the story...wonderful creativity!
Slushy, I've been a fan of Pern since 1978. I really like Lessa's story, Dragon Flight, but I think my favorite is Master Harper of Pern. Erathion, argggh, I don't want my style recognized. lol But I have a feeling that art is kind of like handwriting, unique to the individual. Hmmm, maybe if I used my left hand for photoshopping...
Excellent
Great work.Especially dragon looks splendid.And tip.If You just suggest some broken vase bottom and some transparency (maybe a fragment of flower stem inside),effect will be much better.Good luck.

nice work on dragon, but flowers look like paper cutting, not having dimension. Improve it
