Description Shimmy up the dragon's scales,
and settle on her back,
Ride the wind and race the whales
and fly the sunset track.

Hang on tight and don't let go
as she beats her wings,
A galaxy in each scale rainbow
a treasure fit for kings.

And when your flight of fantasy
is finished, you'll slide down;
Walk shaking to your nursery
and dream of where you've flown.

The colour scheme here is glorious. But isn't the dragon appalled at?inding his pictures pasted all over the internet?

It's Wilbur's flamboyant brother, who secretly wants to be all over the internet. Wilbur's appalled.

Wonderful colors and shape. Fantastic render
I love this like I love all the other art work you have uploaded, I just have to do a fav and run tour as otherwise I never get to see all the 1800 deviations that are still waiting to be seen in my devwatch gallery. I trust you understand

It certainly makes me think of scales... and, oddly, feathers. Hey, it's a steampunk dragon!

My seestore is as magnificent a poet as she is a fractalist.

But the thing she does best is Mommy.



I love her and am so very proud of her that I can't begin to put it into words.

Too, too true.

You've wisely copyrighted the "mage" - which means I cannot clone him/her to summon my own dragon to photograph

I love this one! The colours are great and the purple bits look like they have miniature galaxies in them. It also gives off the appearance of a reflection- well done!
