Oh, my God. I just... Oh my God. This is SO PERFECT! Because I love Jane Roland so much, she's my favorite. And all those awesome scales and that gorgeous irridescent texture! Excidium's beautiful, stunning eye (which totally follows me when I move, I love that)! And Jane's uniform, rawr, with the olive green and the brass, and the straps and buckles, and the shading underneath every buckle just so. And she's gazing off into the distance, steeling herself for battle. And Emily is so adorable, petting the dragon. And that horn, oh, man, I love that texture. And the frame matches the trim on Jane's uniform (it's a Virgo thing, what can I say). And the flow of the composition, just pulls me in and then all the cool awesome won't let me back out again. :DDDD

Thank you so much. You rock so, so hard. :DD I'd say I was speechless, except clearly not. But yes--this is so perfect and you are so awesome.

Hee! I keep finding more cool stuff, and getting more excited, so the first paragraph keeps getting longer and longer.

ETA: You know, every time I come back to look at this, I'm more impressed with those scales. The detail, the use of them with the contouring. Even the two round ones on the far right, which are about where snake's ear would be, and snakes do have some larger scales around there. I just. :D
