"I've been meaning to draw this character for a long time. When I first saw her, I was smitten. I'm a sucker for eastern dragons, especially ones with furry manes. Hey, has anyone seen her original design? It's even better! I'm disappointed they changed it.

I've been off of deviantart for almost a decade because I just wasn't happy with my artistic abilities. I think this is a major improvement and I'm happy with the end result, but I still strive to learn and improve even more.

Anyway, I hope you like it!"
