Rysta: Not Again... Color

YAY! i managed to finish coloring it!

Here again is Rysta and Aardrin - characters belonging to Dragondoodle/girl-n-herhorse....Her prize for catching the Kiribin! she loved the inks, i hope she likes the colors!

this is my imagining of a scene in her story when rysta loses her home for a second time...its been a while since i read the story, but i think i'm pretty true to the scene anyway.

So, opinions, please? is it as stunning in color as i had hoped it was? i also couldn't decide on the full color or the fade out. which do you like better?
