Greetings everyone! After much hand-wringing and debate the judges have decided on the four winners of the Dracopedia Art Contest. We all loved the entries and it was a shame to narrow it down to only four. I've actually added an "Editor's Choice Award".
Congratulations to the winners, thank you to everyone who contributed, and good luck with your artwork!
Enjoy.

LG West. "...this was my favorite in the youth category. It's
not easy to put two heads on a dragon, and the design shows some real
observation and problem solving, yet maintains pleasing proportions.
The wings, which tend to be the least plausible bits, even among pros,
are well designed. I also like the repourposing of the rear limbs."
