This is a creature from another of Anne McCaffrey's world, THE
DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN®. I got the original picture from THE
DRAGONLOVER'S GUIDE TO PERN, by Jody
Lyn Nye with Anne
McCaffrey. It has some really interesting information & illustrations
about Anne McCaffrey's world of THE
DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN®. I'm pretty sure the original artist is James Clouse.
This is also one of my favourite drawings. :) I used some graphical editing
to get the final (unfinished??) result.
