That's right, the design I've been toying with forever is FINALLY done! Meet the next addition to the Dragonflight Dreams shop designs: Pretty fierce, right? He'll fit right in with the dragon. I plan on making the screen this weekend, and then getting to...

I have FINALLY finished sketching, erasing, tweaking, etc. the next design for DA, and am ready to make the screen. Check out the upcoming phoenix design: EDIT: Ok, I may have announced this prematurely. I woke up the next day, and was not happy with the wings. I...
