That's wonderful, Robert! Seems that your creations are fantastic animals in the truest sense of the word. Guess I should have told you about this contest when I set it up. My apologies.

btw as for the plates, you are looking at one, the very first page after the inside cover page...

wish I could read into the future... dunno... once I send them off it usually takes weeks before I get color keys, then more time passes before I get a final copy of the actual book, signed by the author, and one to sign for her/him.

Excellent advice, Robert - thanks. I'm puzzled by your last comment, though...number of illustration plates for a series of books? When will we be able to purchase them?

I think you call it "constructive criticism" or you go here in the UK! Being malicious is childish. I've had some peices of mine shamed, which is ok, I dont mind, but I would like to know WHY!

Patrick,
we all get shamed at one time or another for various reasons...send taltopia a message, ask them to reinstate the image and they usually do. In the shameless self promotion department... Zony is a cross between a zebra and a horse.

My only critism I will voice is the lack of explanation in anyone shaming work!! Its all well and good "shaming" something, but a decent explanation as to "why" would do anyone any harm
