illustration for "The Forgotten Beasts of Eld"

Very stylised look. original..i feel that the dragons neck is very straight kinda puts me off slightly, but really like the lion and the way he is looking straight at us, makes the piece very powerful...colours + composition work well..

hi , Rodi... thanks for your comment
I thought about the dragon's neck .... and I did it for purpose, try to make him look like he is just arriving from the right. ( he is a little bit embarrasses of being late .......I try to avoid all the characters are looking at the "camera". (although, the editor did asked me to change the dragon's head to face the "camera" slightly a little bit ...and also want me to make the swan bigger....I was putting the swan in the button left at first , but it tend to bring all the attention toward the hog and the swan., so I move it to the back again. )

I did wrote a long letter to editor to explain myself and I was lucky. So I only change the hog to slightly silver-grey colour ( originally it was painted much darker )
