I recognized the name as a horse breed but didn't look at any pictures of the horses when I colored it. Most of the dragons are named after butterflies so this one is unusual. It is almost a gold color right now. :) I have some metallic pencils. They look good on paper but do not scan well, and since we do not have a good description of the dragon and I like the current pattern, I am going to leave my rendering alone. You are more than welcome to post your own rendition. We need more art. --[[User:Mooir|Mooir]] 21:21, 2 June 2008 (PDT) | I recognized the name as a horse breed but didn't look at any pictures of the horses when I colored it.
