Dragon Ladies

Sleeping Beauty was my favorite Disney movie for most of my life (right up until Mulan came along, because I am a sucker for women in armor).  So it is natural that that particular version of the fairy tale should have some influence on my own retelling.  Most specifically, the villain of the piece, Maleficent, turns into a bad ass dragon- and so does the dark fairy in my retelling.  Of course, she is not half so physically imposing when in her "normal" state:

Yes, that is an embroidery hoop she's standing next to.

But I did strive to make her dragon-form just as imposing.  Smaller, yes (definitely not castle-sized), but equally deadly.  Maybe one of these days I'll throw up a doodle for you...
