In my repost of the "The NQCBGT Official List of Dragon Art" it is attributed to "Tua Xiong". I had the same attribution in my own collection. I have seen this work and the one below it in many places either with no artist's name or with Tua Xiong on it. I had NO idea, this work was being misrepresented. I make profound apologies to the true artist! If anyone should find Tua Xiong's email address, Alex would very much like to have it. The maintainer of NQCBGT would like to have it also, as would I. On the other hand, with the global warming problem, maybe it is better if we don't get it.
