LinkThis is the cover art for a long running book series of mine I've written since I knew how to draw lizards. Although, it was hard to even call them lizards with my skills (or lack thereof) back then. Though, one thing I am proud of my young self for, is her imagination. With a more fully developed mind, I can put together the peices of the story she tried to craft. Rewrite them. Complete them. Help evolve them into a state I know she'd be proud of me for.
I very recently decided... that I wanna be an author when I get out of college, making books targeted at the same audience of books like Wings of Fire and Warriors, a perfect place where I can let my imagination run wild, and not have to totally admit any violence.

Link-finss, some wind blessed having feathers. Some dark and light blessed having been known to have wings, resembling their mighty dragon gods.
Dark and light blessed 'lizards' are the most rare, only one or two lines of these ever existing at once. These are seen as the most sacred, as their gods are the founder gods.
Their larger cities are very monotonous and uninteresting, but once you get into the rural areas, the buildings are... something else.
