Gift for Silverwing...
Back when I really got online in the fandom in 2002, 2003... Silverwing was a very important part of it to me. She always had such fantastic characters, she made a lot of characters with complex personalities that I hadn't seen anyone else do yet.
I loved following her uploads, her stories about her pets, and I was very happy when she went from "that cool girl online" to a different title; "friend".
So I wanted to draw her something cool. c:
Anima has been a lot of things to her, but I think at the core of it he's really her protector. He just wouldn't want it to be public knowledge.
Got an image to keep 'n all yanno. :p

OH MY GOD ;______; KITTY WHYYYYYY this is SO amazing!!!! You did warn me and I have been so excited ever since to see what it was you were coming up with. I knew it involved Anima but I had no clue it would be as incredible as this. With how shitty I've been feeling lately seeing a picture like this just brought everything into perspective, because you captured their relationship absolutely perfectly. This is the true relationship they share, but like you said, Anima wouldn't want anyone to know, since he has his badass I'm an angry dragon grrrrr image to keep. But it has evolved into one like this, and really was like this the whole time, I was just being a big dork and didn't get it. I cannot put into words how freaking amazingly you captured both of them here. I really love how you captured the size difference between them, and how tiny SilverWing is in his arms. I love how she has her eyes closed and is just latched onto him, like she was scared but now she knows she's safe and can close her eyes and just let go of whatever she's afraid of in the world. Like she's in an ultimate safe haven. And I know how we were talking about dragons using their wing arms as another set of arms and BAM there you go drawing it!!! I just love how he's holding her with his hands but then has his wing hands around her as well for double protection. Alright bad guys just try to get through that I dare you >:| It just gives this added sense of security and warmth and protection. It's so crazy that I'd ever describe Anima's relationship with SW as warm, but that is how it is now, and you are the first to draw them in such a fashion. So that makes this even that much more special to me. I love how SW has her eyes shut tight, and has those beautiful glasses on. Her ears are so cute and fluffy, how did you know I love fluffy??? You are the queen of drawing fluff and it shows here!! SW and Razerz will conquer the world with their fluff one day!! Her hair is beautiful and I love that bit of a purple dress I can see there! Ok and Anima… I love how he looks annoyed but also slightly whimsical, like he's pissed at whoever is giving SW shit, but also knows he could kick their ass so they might as well just back the fuck up. The way you drew him is just fabulous! I have trouble drawing him from that angle but you made it look so easy! His muzzle is perfect and I love his big nose ring! And his big dragon eyebrows are great! Plus the way you did the piercings in them. I know you said were adding lots of piercings without it being overcrowded and you definitely did just that!! I love that little rainbow one on his ear! And the horn decorations are a favorite part! You even did the little ties around his horn and the metallic bits, and I love the ankh! And I see a upside down pentagram there very fitting, and you even added in the WRATH in there written on his neck. I love that!! Because in every picture I try to toss it in there somewhere since it's such a symbolism thing for me.
And good god woman your coloring!!!! It is SO smooth and flawless and elegant. Did you use all markers for this? It looks that way but I just wanna check. You have mad real media skills. You add in such great little details that makes it that much more poignant, like the lines around the knuckles on his wing hands, the bits of white gel pen on the horns and spikes that makes them look more boney, the flow to the hair and how Anima's is more jagged than SW's with other colors mixed in just how I draw him! It creates such a fun dynamic. Seriously this is one of my most favorite gifts ever. It is so amazing to see how both of them look in your style now. Like I said I'd been going through old art and HOLY CRAP BATMAN the difference in this from how you used to draw the two of them so many years ago.
Thank you so much for this amazing gift, and SO much for those incredible words. To know I was someone you looked up to with my characters, and that you followed their stories… that means SO much to me…. it truly does. I always admired your work, and was so happy when we did finally start talking, and even happier when we did become friends. And even happier when I finally got to meet you in person! You are an incredible person and I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Let's keep it that way, I am not gonna lose touch with you again! So much love for you my Kittys, thank you forever for this! I hope you will like what I have in store for you!

I LOVE reading your mammoth comments when you are excited about pictures!
I had a lotta fun doing this, anima is such a blast to draw. Even if I don't really like shading with that color blue haha. I used to NEVER be able to do that colour, my old character stolenchaos was that colour and i never wanted to colour it when I drew it haha.
Its all markers, if I was smart I would have upped the shading with pencils but I also wanted to leave it this way. Markers and gel pens.

This really popped out to me in my submission feed! The detail is so pretty, I like how colorful yet emotional this is. And sounds weird, but I like how thick Anima's neck is at the base, and how huge his hands are. I dunno why that stood out to me! And your description! Gooosh, gave me some find memories as well <3
Thank you so much babydoll! I wanted to give him this kinda HYOOGE feel, either his hands are VERY large or he is just much larger cradling this tiny little silverwing against his neck.
Good memories for sure, that was such a good time back then. Such a good community, its a shame that it feels like everyone scattered into the wind.
