Dragons, Japanese Gardens and Taiko Drums

Today was a very good day! 

Theresa took my books to the Skosh Japanese Festival in Gresham Oregon.

She made me look really good. *sticks out chest with pride*

We had DRAGONS Everywhere... 

Coloring pages

Stickers

The 1st Ever Dragon Selfie!

She even brought my Selfie Cut-out and boy was it a hit!

Everyone wants a picture with a Dragon... Especially if he's as handsome as me!

We made some great friends.

Kate, the young girl from last week's show, who bought Vol 1 & 2, came by.

She bought Vol. 3 *chuckles* I think she is addicted to me.
(That's her with me above *grins*)

And Kate with my books. Pretty soon she will have the whole collection. *grins toothily*

She says, "YOUR MY FAVORITE AUTHOR!!!!!!!! "

(I think she means Theresa, but hey, they're my stories, right??)

*mantles wings and takes a bow*

There was Taiko Drumming, so I did a happy dance with Theresa.

We made the floor rock! Literally *grins*

We made some new friends, Justin and Stephanie.

They got matching Farloft tattoos.

Looking good my friends!

Hope you come to visit me next time I'm in town.

Life is good if you have a dragon in your corner

*ruffles wing in satisfaction*

How Big is Farloft? by Theresa Snyder

October 31, 2014 - Halloween

Last night there was a discussion on Twitter as to Farloft's actual height. Farloft has not been measured in years, and then it was in his own Kingdom, so I do not know how accurate that would have been.

I got out my twenty-five foot tap measure once he got out of his soft nest this morning and started to measure.

He is 14' 3" from floor to the top of his head. His horns add another two feet. I wanted to measure his shoulder height, the length of his neck and his head, but he was fussy after his long chat yesterday and told me, "I am not being fitted for a Tux and top hat, please refrain."

I gave him a chocolate bar and he was in a better humor in no time.

I will post our picture from when I lived in his land. You can judge his size by me. I am 5' 8" in my boots.

I hope to have a detailed measurement sheet done of him sometime in the future to show.

FanArt - Doing My Happy Dance!

Laura has finished the piece of James and me overlooking the kingdom. 

I am so impressed *ruffles wings in excitement* 

It is so detailed. 

Look close...that's it...zoom in...you can see Theresa's cottage in the meadow by the forest. 

It just doesn't get any better.

FanArt from Merystic

I am pleased to present another great piece of FanArt 

based on my first book in The Farloft Chronicles,
JAMES & THE DRAGON. 

I think Mery really captured Laval's devious side.

Fanart - Farloft & James

James and I have our first piece of Art depicting us together.

A lovely drawing of us overlooking our kingdom by 

Tersethra on Twitter at @LoriDrachin 

*wraps dragoness in a warm wing huggle*

Priceless, thank you!

And...James learning to fly!

Theresa is addicted to Bluekite

Still more wonderful drawings from Bluekite.

James' 1st Fanart!

M A Gilchrist is a high concept artist and illustrator living in Southwest Florida. Over the years he has taken his creative gift to the food and wine industry, the cycling world, online retailers like Medieval Collectibles, and many more. Inspired by an early love of comic books and cartoons, M A Gilchrist stretches the boundaries of creativity and believability, while maintaining the integrity and sanctity of the objects of the art.

M A approached Theresa a while back to name and write the story for one of his dragons. She named the two-headed, pink dragon, Twin-id. You can check out this unique dragon, along with M A's other work on his site Deviant Dragons

In the meantime, check out this ingenious and unique take on James, thwarted by his in ability to fly. The piece was inspired by my Farloft Chronicle, KINGDOM OF THE LAST DRAGON.

My Bust Portrait by BlueKite of Deviant Art

I am so thrilled with the three portraits BlueKite did of me. *ruffles wings and grins* 

Half the fun was watching them come together. 

*golden eyes whirl*

I wanted to share that excitement with you.

First the bust picture
It started as a sketch. 

The first sketch - a great concept! (I love blowing smoke rings)

The second one (note my horns and muzzle are a bit short)
I look a bit like one of Yogoloth's relatives ::grins::

Now my horns are lengthened, but my muzzle is still a bit stubby. Theresa likes my long tapered muzzle. *nudges Theresa in chair* Don't you? 

Theresa thought my muzzle was still too short and my eyes too orange. I have golden eyes *looks deep into Theresa's baby blues*
She also commented to Kite that the inside of my wings were darker and the tip of my soft nose was a wee bit lighter. (Picky...I know...But you have to love friends who make you look your best!)

Coloring updated in this photo along with muzzle length. Kite was so accommodating and sweet about Theresa's constant harping
*nuzzles Theresa and huffs smoke affectionately over her head*

Finished portrait!

What a handsome dragon ::grins::

No wonder Clearair fell for me...
