Description A gift for ~ataramos of her dragon (okay wyvern) avatar. This may be my last obsessively detailed and polished painting ever because I love high illustration but I think I'm just not cut out for it.

Ataramos is (c) A. Brown.

When I saw this first time I thought it was done in 3D program or something O.o
Now I see it's really digital drawing, really nice, I love it <3
You did such a wonderful work

I love this picture to pieces. The movement is especially effective and conveys to me all sorts of emotions that don't necessarily agree with each other! And of course the execution is wonderful.

You should do with your art as you see fit, but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more paintings from you.

Too bad you're giving up painting forever. Since it's beautiful.

It's Ata! Oooh, I love the stylization of this; like she is swept up in and a part of a strong breeze, yet she still looks so solid and steadfast in her placement and grasp of the tree. Through it all, she looks quite satisfied and complacent. Beautiful work!

Thank you very much! I imagine ears like that would get tangled in everything, unless they were half ethereal, which I kinda tried to convey. Just a silly idea I had. :}

I had just set this as my background image not too long ago. Its so nice to see it, it makes me smile. Im still so flabbergast that you did it for me.

I'm still so flabbergasted I did it, but I'm glad I did. I work better when I'm making presents. n.n Say, Tresh says you're still over on Draconic. How're they doing over there?

It's quiet, but there's still a pleasnt murmur of activity. Some 'zomgrargh' happens now and then, like a recent bout with people unable to put aside a political difference, but there's a still a steady stream of people saying things now and again, and the art forum is occasionally still dumped upon by people like Sejuay and Shiari.

It's an Ataramos! ^__^ I remember way back when you posted this one at Draconic. It's always been one of my favorites of your art. So beautiful and flowy.

Oh, I miss Draconic sometimes. <3 Do you still hang out there? I wonder how they're doing.

I've ended up in perpetual lurk mode there. A full time job working at Walmart takes away most of my ability for intelligent conversation, lol. So I haven't really kept up with the site as well as I should. Ataramos still hangs out there though.
