Description
This is a collaborative piece.Lineart and text by the indomitable .
Colors by me. I used watercolor and Prismacolor pencils, as always.
Crittic is Badhead-Gadroon's spouse who died late last year. Badhead threw out lineart and invited all and sundry to color it in memory of Crittic.

This is gorgeous. I love the colours. You've really done justice to some lovely lineart. Makes me think of the little dragons of Pern.

Thanks very much. Badhead-Gadroon does some amazing work, so it was a real pleasure to be able to make a commemorative collaboration with her like this. ...And yes, I was thinking about the Perenese fire lizards, too.

Beautiful picture, and I love the colors you chose. Very soft and... tranquil? I'm not sure if that's the word I want..

Thank you.
Yeah, "tranquil" works, especially for this design. My colors, yes, but not quite as clashing as usual.

Pretty and adorable. I wish these tiny dragons would exist

I agree. I read a story about tiny dragons years ago - they were like insects and small birds - that lived with these two children. I was thinking of that story when I colored this picture for Badhead-Gadroon, but I cannot remember the title of that story.

You are most welcome. I think this is one of the very best memorial ideas I've ever seen - it's an awesome tribute to someone like Crittic who clearly loved you and your artwork. It was wonderful to see what all of the other artists have done with your lineart as well. Thank you, in turn, for allowing all of us this opportunity.
