She did indeed. I added shiny bits to the final for her, so she was really jingled.

Very nice! Wonderful colours and very detailed as usual! 
The wings of the angel look very floofy and soft!

Thank you very much!
My eyes DO pop out after a while. Then I have to feel around on the carpet for them, and I have to pick off the fuzz and the pencil shavings...
No, seriously: I color my drawings one section at a time - I'll color all the spots, then I'll color all the spines, then I'll color the cloth, then the fluffy wings... That way I work on a single color concept, and I have time to rest before I begin the next section.

Hahahaa!! 
Aha! I try to always begin with the background and from left to right (as I'm right handed and don't wanna smear things out). But it doesn't always work if some parts are too interesting to draw/paint.

Oh, wow... This turned out absolutely gorgeous... The angel's wings look so pretty and pettable... And the dragon looks awesome in all its coiledness. The folds in clothes are amazing, too. Incredible work!

Thanks very much! I assure you, the folds were half the fun of the whole project. I love constructing clothing like this.

Oh wow, the angel's wings are gorgeous! It took me a while to make out the form of the dragon and find its head but the colors and styling just blow my mind!

I still am not entirely comfortable with the dragon. I fought with the color rendering for quite a while to get it to read like it does, and it still blends together too much. I'll probably do another version with this pattern to see if I can knock it out a little more clearly. Glad you like the angel, though - that's definitely my favorite part. The folds in its robe were great fun to construct.

Your mom must've gave you a big bear hug and lots of kisses for that.

Yeah, and what's stranger - I LET her.

Simply beautiful. Definately one of my favs. I really like the connection between the angel and dragon through the use of color (reds, oranges, yellows, blues

Thanks very much - you get from it exactly what I intended as far as playing with color composition.

The color is so smooth that the thumbnail looks like its digital art until you actually full view it. Thats awesome.

This has got to be one of your smoothest, best coloring jobs to date. :>

Thanks very much! I'm glad to know that I at least *look* like I'm making improvements...

I am speechless...I adore this. Period. 
Can you make a print available? Please?

Thanks very much!
I run my own print shop, actually. I don't want DA taking any cut of my profits, nor do I want quality control out of my hands. I will be making a limited print run of this piece that will be matted in three sizes - 8x10 inches ($10), 11x14 ($25), and 16x20 ($40), plus shipping. Drop me a note if you're still interested and we can work out the details.

OK, thanks.

I can't honestly even describe how much I love this piece. I, too, have a thing for angels and dragons, though I don't show my love for the latter all too often. Plus, this piece of art was just perfect when considering the music I'm listening to at the moment as well. I adore music played with organs, with some choir singing... Powerful, passionate melodies.. All that stuff... Needless to say, what I'm listening to only boosts the effect of this gift art!
Just simply breathtaking... Absolutely so. All the vivid colors which almost seem to dance with each other... Definitely deserves a fav.

Thank you very much!
I've done several art pieces like this - dragons and angels together - so I have to keep making them more and more elaborate each time. They must be BETTER each time!

Yesh indeed, I agree, so nicely done....

Wow! The markings on the dragon are amazing, it must have taken you a while. Also I really like the texture you put into the wings of the angel. Well done, indeed!

Thanks very much!
Yeah, this one took a bit longer than I'd expected. Closer to 40 hours, which is about double my original estimate. It's all those blasted details, you know. The dragon just HAD to have Spaghetti-Os for his pattern...

Haha! Spaghetti-O patterns. Well the time and effort was well spent. ^^
