Myth and Folklore

Image Art by RaisedbytheVillans I used this image in my week 4 story, the Lonely Dragon and the Cheerful Satyr.   The artwork is my favorite, out of all the other images I have used, because it matched my story so well.  I was really concerned I wouldn't find an image with both dragon and a satyr - let alone one that showed the two getting along rather than fighting.  It is beautiful and so detailed.  The picture is interesting because it has the two characters simply relaxing ...
