Cloudling Water Dance

This is my half of a way-too-long-to-do art trade with the wonderful , her part of the trade is located here please give it some love too!

Seriously though, I did everything in this piece BUT what I am comfortable with. I tried really hard to do well on it though!
I really, really really really REALLY hate drawing feathers. >.< It's not that they're not pretty, it's just, something I can't draw. I hope that this is acceptable to her, because she's having a rough time right now and she could use a pick-me-up, but, yeah.
I tried to do this as a piece where her ADORABLE dragon Cloudling is brushing her wing and paws into the water. I know it's hard to see with the sun and all but I really did try. >.<

Anyways, enough of the rambling.
