Description This is the scanned version of the sketch. Nuff said.

Original description:
JB was talking about the (over)use of latin in different kinds of media, and to prove it he referenced the Hogwarts School Motto: Draco Dormien Numquam Titillandus, and its translation "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon".

Though Fang, being the prankster imp that he is, decided to see if it's true one shouldn't do that... so he, along his mimic familiar Wisp, went up to a sleeping Zip and began to tickle his feet...

Will Zip like the treatment he's starting to receive? Because I'm sure Fang and Wisp are enjoying their side!

About the picture, the idea came yesterday when I was talking to my cousin about latin being used in different media, and then I remebered that motto... the idea of drawing it got stuck in my head, but only today I had the inspiration to actually put in on paper.

I used a pencil number 2 to draw a "sketch", and then I just used an HB pencil to outline. Then I took a photo (with my crappy cellphone camera, no less) and used a Pencil Sketch effect on Paint.net.

See part 2 here: [link]

Fang, Wisp and Zip belong to me.

Will he like it? Depends how ticklish he is.

Cute pic!

I bet he'll complain about it once once he wakes up, but otherwise I think he'd enjoy it.

Also, thanks for the fave!

While hysterically laughing?

Hehe, not really, for a couple of reasons:

First, his scales do offer some protection against the tickling (albeit minimal).

Second, they're being easy on him; Fang knows pretty well he shouldn't overdo it, because he himself is EXTREMELY ticklish... and Zip is just capable enough to turn the tables on his favor.

It also doesn't help him the fact that Wisp is a Tickle-Mimic (based on an old Progress Quest character of mine) and is willing to switch sides if there's an opportunity.

So yeah, Fang is basically "playing with fire".

Well in that case, I reckon Fang is doomed.
