@davidrevoy one thing that irks me on this picture is her posture: she appears to be leaning heavily forward, clutching the beast's hair to not fall over in front. As someone with a back ache, I intimately feel this is not a sustainable posture for a long journey!

But may be it's just me…

On the other hand, I love the vibe and style of your drawings so much! Thank you for sharing your talent!
