most adorable fan art ever, Y/Y?

[swan_tower]

So yesterday I’m on my way to Borderlands Books for the last reading/signing event with Mary (the tour isn’t quite over, as I have BayCon yet to go, but I’m almost there), and I see that somebody has mentioned me on Twitter.

That someone is Victoria Ying, an artist at Sony Pictures Animation, who has worked on a couple of films you might have heard of: Tangled, Wreck It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6 (OH MY GOD HOW MUCH DID I LOVE THAT MOVIE). She has apparently read A Natural History of Dragons . . . and this is the result.

Forgot to post the final painting from my "A Natural History of Dragons" @swan_tower Isabella and Greenie! pic.twitter.com/dDRqAYtZDG

. . . it’s wee!Isabella. With a jar of vinegar. And Greenie pickling away in it.

<melts on account of adorableness>

Seeing that, and then reading to a packed crowd at Borderlands (it’s always a good sign when they run out of chairs), and then meeting this lady, who showed up with a dragon on her shoulder:

It’s a good way to (almost) end the tour.

That's her final painting? You mean there are others? And wouldn't a "Natural History of Dragons" movie be nice?

There was apparently a preliminary sketch.

And yes, I would love a movie. :-D Now if someone would only offer actual money for the rights . . . .
