Long before I created my third character, Taylor Renee, I had Murana and Llydia and I had it in my mind to do a crossover pic of the two meeting somewhere random - almost like a happen-chance meeting of two star-crossed destinies. Per her official ref sheet, the size different is quite a bit off for Llydia, but the art is so amazing that I didn't care - it is such a heart warming scene of my two characters. Murana is definitely interested in such a unique creature, quite unlike anything she has seen in her lifetime. Llydia, being the kind-hearted dragon that she is, was already willing to make a new friend. Who knows where these two will end up next? ======= The second picture sketch I kept for the longest time, waiting for the artist to finish the final, approved drawing of the Murana/Llydia crossover. This was a good lesson to me to make sure I got the description perfectly understandable to the artist. Sometimes language barriers exist when you commission someone, other times you just don't describe what you want well enough. This was one of those times where I described the wolf and dragon having a 'bonding' moment that was intimate, yet friendly. Well, other than describing what the overall pose of the two was going to be, the artist cued off on intimate and gave me something COMPLETELY different than what I had in my head. May it be a lesson other commissioners learn from: Never leave anything to chance! Describe what you want in minute detail!
