Description Canary is a feathered dragon that lives in the peaceful tropical forests of Adnaram. She lives high in the gargom trees and spends most of her days perfecting her nest and eating the sweet gargom fruit that grows around her. (Tastes like mangoes!) While she is shy and prefers to spend her time alone, Canary also has a secret love of poetry and music, and enjoys making up songs to sing during the sunrise.

Though Canary doesn't worry about too much, her greatest fear is of creatures with beaks. Though she is very birdlike herself, she cannot tolerate or even speak of things with beaks! It sends her into a spastic fright in which she will hide in her nest for hours, waiting for the fear to subside!

"You just can't trust things that snap and crush!" she replies, shaking her head and burrowing down into her nest.

---

So for the Nightmare Challenge at #TheDragonLand Canary is having a night terror!! She finds herself awaking in a giant nest, perched next to two cracking eggs! She flaps her wings furiously, and just as she is about to escape with her life, the parent creature returns, opening it's huge beak and SNAP! She wakes up!

Canary was not very pleased that I made this entry, and actually requested that I burn the picture. I tried to explain to her that is was just a nightmare, but she is rather stubborn when it comes to scary beaks!

Ha ha ha ha! This is a great art style.

And I use Crayola colored pencils, also.
