Description
Every picture is inspired by something and this one that I have just completed, perhaps surprising, was inspired by a dog. I will explain...
A few months ago I adopted a dog from a rescue kennel called Charlie. Charlie is a lovely chap and already seven years old. He is a little nervous and it is not possible to explain to a dog what is happening to them and that this is to be their new home. All one can do is treat them kindly and lead them gently into a new and better life. This is the sentiment behind this artwork. The girl leads the dragon, and despite his obvious strength he looks tentatively over his shoulder, but she is calm and kind and her magic lights their way. I hope you like it.
My thanks to model Elandria whose photo I used as reference when painting the figure.

I absolutely LOVE this! 
Ironically, I too recently adopted a dog named Charlie, back in October, which makes this even more meaningful now.

your talents are Amazing and truly magnificent. I see how much heart and soul went into each and every one of your creations. But all You do are dragons, fairies, unicorns, vampires, mermaids & Angels and all of them are magnificent but I like for you to explore a bit out of your comfort zone. if you don't mind I would like to see some lets say for example human like animals or demons it would be different from your normal style but that way you could explore and see how far your talents can reach. you have done marvelous painting and quite frankly I admire them I even bought one myself over the summer. I know I might not be the greatest artist for digital art at the moment but I do love viewing at different artist and see the potential they bring with their art and honestly you are by far the best one I've seen on here so far. I love your art and style and I can see you truly can overcome any challenge that comes your way. I can see you have a golden heart as it radiates off every single creation you've done giving each one a different but beautiful meaning. I would love to see more from you keep up your marvelous work and go that extra mile I know you can do it.

That's one haughty expression that dragon has, I'm sorry I don't see the tentativeness. Love her gown, and the wings.

Aww, what a sweet story! I just adore to know the link between your dragons and your dogs - a link between your world and ours. The glow on the grystal is very nice, and they both have powerful expressions. The drahon almost looks ... fragile, like made of glass, sheltering itself from the world with its wings ... One thing that bothers me a bit is how far up the wing is connected, because I think it would be hard for the dragon to keep its hindquarters in the air without support, but I'm also nerdy like that. The woman's dress is wonderful. She holds the dragon's large claws so tenderly. It surely has a nice story.
