Artist's Comments

FULL VIEW FOR DETAIL!

A fruit Dragon, rare colourful breed of dragon who's diet consists of the flesh of sweet fruits. Their plumage are dazzling bright colours used to attract mates. Though they posses wings they don't actually fly so much as glide. Their powerful tails help them to balance and steer when gliding. Their powerful claws allow both to scale trees and tear into the flesh of tough fruits.

OMG this has taken me SO long to do, at least two weeks of on off work and experimentation with textures. So much detail on certain aspects it killed me. My poor mouse! Please comment, I tried so hard :(

His fur looks so soft! ^^ And I love how you put the tiny little puncture marks where his claws are on the grape (Grape?) It's VERY good! I really like it!

I adore the bright colours on this, really makes it all stand out. I also love the detail you seem to have made so much effort on, like the water droplets on the fruit and such :D Wonderful! ^_^
