This is a complete reworking of a piece I completed way back in 2008 called "The Great Taboo". If you want to read the history and short made up myth it is based on (it probably doesn't make much sense without it), then follow the link below :)

No doubt there will always be those that prefer the original but I've always wanted to redo the piece. It started off looking much the same as the original but I felt it was becoming too large and trying to depict too much so I cropped it down to focus on just the dragon prince and princess and the way they were interacting with each other. Even then it was nightmarishly tricky to paint and I'm still unsure about several parts but, overall, I'm really quite happy with how it turned out. I hope fans of the original like it too :)

Edit: Please click through to the close up, DA seems to have blurred the smaller version something nasty. I'll see what I can do about it in the mean time.

Not the stereotypical "awesome!" that most people use just like they would the word "cool!", but the true meaning of the word...AWE-some.

I love them both. It's true that the first one of a lot more representative of what they both feel about one another, but its the story behind that moves me. Nice work once again!

Can I just use this first-comment to say that you are one of my all-time favourite artists and that you inspire me in the worlds of art and writing. Your stories, from what I have gathered, are completely fantastic and perfect and everything you do is amazing. I've followed you for maybe two years now and you have just been awesome for all this time. : D
