Kaden, Dragon Leader by Hannah Rogers
(Due to unfortunate internet issues with Hannah and me leaving to go camping the morning the contest voting began, I didn’t get Hannah’s entries until a few days later, but isn’t this drawing of Kaden awesome?!)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered the contest and those who voted! I can’t wait to do it again! If you want to see the other entries in the contest, head over to the Ilyon Chronicles fan art page.

  2. Oh my goodness! Hannah! Your "Kaden, Dragon Leader" picture is awesome! He looks very close to how I imagined him, the lighting and depth is amazing, and this is my favorite representations the dragons I have ever seen! I would have voted for you! ;) I love it.
