(Briefly de-lurking) Went and took a look at the Ferret Dragon -- he's gorgeous! I'm a "fantasy genre" artist myself, and I wish that more people who work in fantasy / science fiction themes would consider using ferts as "fantastical animalles" -- the possibilities are endless. (Sitting around with some friends one evening, the topic of potentially "scary" critters came up. It was decided that the two most unnerving possibilities were cats with thumbs, and ferrets with wings.) I hope that you can get a good collaboration going with the artist; the talent in that painting speaks for itself. ~Becca Mom to Sinead the Brat (aka 'Nader 'Nader Weasel Vader), Panther and Dylan (kitty-fuzz) Missing Morag Mustelid Morrigu, Fiona Ferret Fittipaldi, Garfunkel the Curmudgeon, and Jasmine Dancer Ferret Fosse, all hangin' out at the Bridge with Victor the WonderDog and Charlie the Tripod, Yellow Tabby of Few Words [Posted in FML issue 4490]
