I am the proud, new owner of Dragon Dreams! I was actually going to start my own thread on this, but kramus beat me to it. While I could spend my time speaking about the quality of the drawing itself, its artistic merits and all that, I think the work speaks for itself. I will say that the image above does not do the actual drawing any justice. There are layers of color that have been muted in the jpeg butchering.

I'd also like to comment on the experience as a whole:

Kramus faced a rather stringent list of requirements because I wanted to create a very distinct family memory and inject a fantasy within it. How does one explain to another a memory in sufficient terms to have it recreated? While I'd like to say I have some gift for that, I believe the gift was in kramus and his ability to "hear" the feelings surrounding that memory and transfer a few photos and a few paragraphs into a memory incarnate.

It was really easy to work with kramus, as I found him laid back and patient. I also felt the pricing was fair, considering the size and detail of the work. The finished drawing was 12x16 in. This will be a gift to my wife and son for Christmas, and I look forward to proudly hanging it on my son's wall.

This was my first experience at commissioning art, and I'm so glad I did. kramus rocks!

P.S. If anyone is interested, I will post some of the photos he started with. I think seeing them only emphasizes the kramus' accomplishment.
