  • Weak support This is a wonderfull image, excellently depicting the Princess and dragon concept. However, I would like to see a signigicantly better scan. Line drawings really need alot of pixels to avoid aliasing errors causing a criss-cross effect or stair like lines. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 00:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
