Another commissioned image of Kim McConnor-Schwarzkopf that shows the tremendous changes that have enveloped her life and cost her her humanity! Kim is the proud mother of three beautiful children, a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, and the tough as nails co-lead character of multiple stories that I have written. This magnificent piece was a commission done for me by the superlative Legionaries Studio.

Here is a brief summary to hopefully get you interested!
Over millennia the human species has cemented itself as the dominant life form on planet Earth. As their appetite for technology and the comforts of modern life grew, warning signs of how they treated each other and the only world they knew to harbor life became increasingly dire.
From across a gulf of space and time beyond human understanding another civilization had taken notice. A terrible cost and a cataclysmic change would soon arrive on Earth. Brought to prevent a tragic slide that these inscrutable observers had all too often seen since their own beginning in a time that the stars themselves have forgotten.
This story begins with the Schwarzkopf family in a small town in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America. Learn, as this family will, how all action comes with a cost, and how every choice has consequence. Learn of the terrible upheaval that upends the lives of all. Learn as that upheaval twists members of this tight knit family into new and impossible bodies that resemble fairy tale monsters given life.
A dark tale of the dreadful results on society of first contact with aliens. Aliens, who quickly make it known that they are not pleased with humanity's choices. After painful life shattering change ripples across the world tearing untold numbers from the birthright of their species, the human race is given a choice, and a last chance.
The story has societal change, first contact, aliens, dragons, some transformations, and family bonds. Give it a read if you're looking for an entertaining story!

                    Yeah if you zoom in you can see the pixels on this site. Probs cuz certain websites are designed for certain things which allows sites like devianart to have high resolution. Since it is heavily art based especially considering a majority of people there post anime which requires high resolution in order to look clean.                
            
                    I always wondered if she kept her green eyes, where her daughter didn't get to keep hers, also I like the size comparison of her standing next to herself before and after. Though makes me wonder if she was this big at the end of the first half of the story or this is years or months after.
Also love the detailing on the scales, the tattoos being the silver said they'd be and I guess all of them are black dragons?
But again, love the scalework and especially the chest scales and both the look of the frills and membranes of the wings. Will definitly need to look at this in greater detail on my pc when I get around to it.

                    Her eyes are still green, but in her dragon form they are a green more intense than anything a human could have. Tom's eyes changed too, but the eye color really changes at random. Hence Irma's eye color. 
I love the size comparison too! It really let you see how difficult these dragons will find navigating a human world. She was only about a third of this size and extremely emaciated immediately after her transformation. It took her months and month of eating voraciously to reach this size.
Yes, the silver is an allergic reaction to the dyes of the tattoos. All dragons are black (so far).
I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to the artist who drew her, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

                    She's about 9m to the top of her head, 6 to her shoulders, 27 long (snout to tailtip), and a wingspan of about 28-30. Those measurements might not accurately be reflected here of course (I think the wings are wider than they should be), but that's what I describe her as in the story. As is the case for all these dragons, she is remarkably light for her size. She weighs about 1.5 as much as a full-grown bull African Bush Elephant , but is more than twice its height and four times its length and pound for pound stronger than any mammal on earth. Angie, one of the youthful characters of my story being only 6 years old, can lift a small car up onto two wheels with alarmingly small effort. Kim exercises herself by pulling a fully loaded semi-truck up and down a road (about 36-37 tonnes). She is a bit of fitness fanatic.                
            
                    Kim's "big sister" (her future self actually) is roughly three times present Kim's size. My dragons grow throughout their lives (at different rates) and future Kim is a little over 500 years old. 
A new hatchling is roughly the size and weight of a full grown medium/large dog. Their tails make them longer than a dog, however.
