I absolutely love the final version. I was just browsing the internet and stumbled across your fantastic blog. I’ve added it to my favorites. I’ve recently done a dragon digital art piece. http://galefra.deviantart.com/art/Danielle-s-Dragon-86682925 but an entirely different flavour. Your work is brilliant !!

Cheers !

Wow- I didn’t know you had a blog, so I am catching up. I’ll be sure to pick this book up for my son. Very interesting to see your thought process into the character. Very inspirational to other artists to see how much care you put into your work. Thank you for that. Cheers-s*a

The fourth drawing really reminds me of Bill Peet.

So fun to see your drawings before the cool lines are covered up with all the paint. Not that the paint isn’t cool but you know what I mean, I really love seeing the sketchy lines and the way artists think.
Love your work.

Hey Tony!

Just saw a link on James Gurney’s website (he just visited Dreamworks today and gave a great inspiring lecture!!)

Wanted to drop a line. Congrats again on Spiderwick…I saw the trailer. Looks top notch!! Can’t wait for it to come out.

Happy Holidays if I don’t hear from ya.

Kenny and the Dragon looks great. I’m working on a dragon painting right now and the whole time I keep thinking about your dragon posts. You’re messin’ with my head, man.

I’m a little sad too to see the end of the Dragon sequence. . .
This illustrates (hah!) that dragons are indeed the perfect subject to draw because they can be anything.

Fantastic design! I hope that my kids like it as much as I do (I’m sure they will)

your other fan,
Ian

Your final creature is very cool looking. I loved the mammal and reptile mixture in its face. Its color was also interesting.

I’m going to miss your notes about dragons but theres always something cool on your blog!

Your fan, Luke
