DragonWorld is out in North Light Shop now and people are talking. We’ve given you sneak peeks along the way but now go get the whole book for yourself! DragonWorld includes over 120 dragons from 49 deviantArt.com artists. Here are some of the things people are saying:

“Just one peek inside the pages and I was utterly blown away…I cannot emphasize how truly gorgeous this book is, and, if you have any interest in dragons or appreciate looking at some stunning artwork, then it will be well worth your money.”

“There is something in this book for everyone whether you’re looking for the fantasy dragons, ancient Japanese creations or something a little more cartoony. And like the greedy dragon of the Chinese proverb I just wanted more!”

“DragonWorld has no show through and you can enjoy the dragon art on each page and it will certainly be added to my fantasy art book collection.”
