"Grr... get back here! You are not getting away!"

...

Run run run, as fast you can... because there's a very angry dragon girl on your tail, and there'll be hell to pay if she catches up to you... man.
I feel like it's been awhile since I've had some artwork drawn of outcast Sharon looking particularly aggressive - it's easy to forget how hostile she can be when she's at camp or travelling with Melee, since she tends to be a bit more mellow when it's just the two of them. It's usually when other people come into play that Sharon becomes downright nasty, especially if she has reason to believe they're up to no good (which is fairly often). Looks like her intuition may have been right this time, judging from that look on her face, and she's about to close the gap on her prey very soon.

...
As much as I would've loved to get a scene with both of my dragons drawn in this style, the artist was only doing solo character pics at the moment and slots were limited, so I had to instead settle for one or the other. I ultimately went with Sharon, since I feel she could always use more love and a quick look at Mano Lon's past works show this artist is really good at drawing braided hair - I even made sure to compliment Mano Lon on that when I told them what I wanted drawn! Guess you could add this picture to the pile as proof of that, huh? On the topic of things the artist has shown aptitude with drawing in the past, I also suggested my dragon be in a sprinting pose, since I had good reason to believe that this artist would've been able to execute that really well based on this particular pic they did prior to my contacting them. I think we can agree I was right to think that, too, based on the results above?

There's really a lot of details the artist applied here that I really like, from the dynamic pose to the fierce expression on Sharon's face, to the braids in her hair, the wings furled out, and even the leather straps that are wrapped around her fur bracers all looking really nice. I really love how this drawing turned out, and am happy I got a chance to commission this artist! Hopefully one day I'll be able to get them to draw Melee for me.
