Thanks sunshine74 And as for the photoshop vs. drawing debate...funny thing is this is one of the first illustrations I've done in a while. I used to draw a lot but I'm a graphic designer and a Photoshop queen. I decided to go old school designing this one and am really satisfied with the results. I guess drawing is like riding a bike Made my appointment by the way. We are starting the process June 7th. Will take a few visits since one can only take so much rib pain, and because of all the detail in the scales and colors. I'm so excited!
