"Hello! My name is Egao, and I'm a Fortune dragon! Unfortunately.... well, good fortune is really hard to do, so sometimes I mess up and bring bad fortune. I guess no one's perfect, right? They say I'll get better as I get older... after all, I'm only about a hundred years old. And hardly eighteen inches long. Oh well... hopefully my human and I will sort it out."

Meet Egao, a little guy who's been floating around in my head for a while... and, who is going to give me a hand in late January! Egao's linework here is going to be used in a colored pencil class I will be teaching at Further Confusion '08.
