Nice to have you back, ml3. By an uncanny coincidence, I had a fantastic idea for a monster in the shower earlier. It was a "Eureka!" moment, I can tell you...
So, if I may, I'd like to request a half-green dragon African elephant, please, mainly because I think it'd be quite interesting to have a dragon with a trunk and big, flappy ears!

hey Michael!
i just wanted to mention, and i should have about a month or two ago but i kept forgetting...
i submitted your version of Cryonax as a "sample" art for what i would like him to look like for the upcoming article (Dragon #347). i should have asked you first, but there was a bit of a hurry. the last time i did that with another friend's artwork, the illustrator very faithfully the example i had sent in, and in fact my friend's name got mentioned in the article's byline (as "contributing artist")!
hope you don't mind...

Mind? Of course not! Are you involved with that article?
It would be very cool if that got in.
Thanks!

i co-wrote it, in fact.
they may not use your Cryonax (they probably won't in fact, especially if they haven't contacted you), but they may very well model the new illustration based on yours. as i said, when i did a similar thing for "Monsters of the Mind" in Dragon #339 with another friend's art, they added his name on as a contributing artist.
