Baby Dragon

At long last I am getting around to uploading this here! This picture is not "new" persay, but new to deviantART at least, having thus far only been uploaded to my blog I believe. It was inspired by my dear friend harwicks-art, whose description/interpretation of Spike's character in a discussion once as a youngster who "needs to be put to bed, reminded not to give himself tummy aches, all of that" struck me as being so incredibly sweet and endearing that I was instantly consumed with the mental image of a cute sleepy Spike in footie pajamas, which I just had to draw. Now, while Spike is a baby dragon I realize he's not an absolute infant of course and I do believe he generally shows remarkable maturity for his age (as stated as being around 8 years old by Lauren Faust, that is) the majority of the time, but still, I really couldn't help myself with this one.
