Holy damn! This is pure epicness and cuteness altogether

>3 ~!

those cliffs remind me of a desert in Utah :) (except with snow)

Cool!

Naaaajs!

That's a big pet dragon. :O

Very cool!

Nevermind the other submission, just seen this XD Outstanding work!

That's so pretty. I can just imagine the view.

that one was particularly striking at EF artshow, no wonder you got an award for it.
that tilted perspective, allied with a good choice of visual effect, give the scene a nice dynamic and movement, we almost feel the air or energy flowing around the characters.
the duality of the contrast/complementarity between the two characters is also interesting, with the big dark mighty and powerful guy which dominate everything, from the land to the chill of that high ground place, and the smaller white characters, almost frailly wrapped in that cloth piece, but feeling safe and happy protected by his big and large friend
all in all a wonderful piece, which gave me a bit of fight at the auction
