Dragon! *sqeee!* I don't like that girl's hands, it's distracting from the pretty dragon! The hands would be higher up, with the elbows held tight into her sides.

    You think so? Blink Well, the drawing's gone AWOL, but if I ever do find it, I plan on inking and coloring it. Leviathan is supposed to be the main thing, even though it's in the background, so coloring it will probably bring it out.

    Question time - she's supposed to be kind of bowing. Just bending a bit forward with her hands on her thighs. Does she look like she's doing that? What?

      ^ ^ Haha, that would be my blurb I guess...with the little droplets floating around, it looks like she has her hands cupped to hold water. But now that you pointed it out, I see it. It's just that her hands were shaded in, so I thought "hey, she's holding something," and "look at that, it must be water!" lol.
      But I still think the elbows are a bit high, and perhaps inclining her head a bit would express the motion a bit better.

        That's probably my fault, too. She's supposed to be wearing gloves. Laughing Phooey.

        Thanks for the reference site!
