Description
EDIT: I currently have one 14x18" gallery print, matted and mounted on hand. $150, all it needs is a frame.Other sizes can be ordered, contact for pricing.
***************
This, is Merih`Saan, my draconic persona that made herself known rather recently. I had a lot of fun painting this, especially the background.
The birds in the foreground are Common Loons, which are very prevalent in Maine and any other area that sports any number of lakes/ponds.
Prints available, note if interested.
Working dimensions 16x10" at 600dpi. Painter IX and Photoshop CS.
Merih`Saan and artwork are copyright Kristen Buckner 2009.

Where on earth did you learn such techniques? Beautiful work, and the fluidity of the background and dragon in flight are just incredible!

My gawd that's beautiful. The scale details is my favorite part of it, but the overall piece is just gorgeous. I would love to have a huge painting-size print of this for my wall, if only!!
Instant fave, my dear.

I can get full resolution archival prints from a local place that are just gorgeous. Let me know if you're interested and I can check out pricing depending on how big of a print you wanted.
And thank you

That's awfully tempting. 
(I forget what typical dimensions are for posters but I'm sure you know what I mean.)
I would want it signed, dated, and numbered too.
Let me know and I'll see, but it would probably be too costly.

This is amazing. The personality of this dragon really shines through in this piece, and it made me smile to look at it.

I planned this, and I didn't plan it. I just had the idea and ran with it. I really should do that more often.

Oh this is beautiful! Truly beautiful!
It's almost like a photograph and in some ways I wish it was. Then I would know it was real.

I love the lighting. It's brilliant.
also,
I must ask... are you a dragon?

Is it that obvious that is how I see myself? In answer to your question, yes. Merih`Saan and SilverMoon are basically two sides of the same coin, each reflecting and complimenting the other. Merih`Saan reflects the more feminine side of me, whilst SilverMoon is the more masculine, think of a yin-yang type deal.

That's great.
Quite an admirable balance.
I'd like to talk to you, if that's OK.
Please add me to your msn or aim.

Very common around here where I live.

Wow SM! That's damn awesome! Just stunning. I like the kind of misty/foggy morning feel to it. So that's what this persona looks like :3

Im still working out her specifics, but yea, it's what she looks like. Not very large either as you can see by the birds in the foreground.

Yeah I noticed that

Don't really know actually. I'm guessing she probably stands about as high but is much longer.
