An odd request, I hadn't drawn anything from the Pern series in several years. But I was so thrilled that I'd be asked to do something like this. It's re-awakened a sleeper in me, and now I must do more Pern Dragons. Beware. Yes, beware.
A nice guy named Jason H. asked me to draw a picture for his girlfriend's birthday. He wanted three characters that they played in a Pern-based RPG. I was very flattered when he offered to pay, so I made sure to really pour my heart out into working on this. Of course, I didn't take the money, but it was still nice to be asked.
