This is my entry to Konqui Krita Contest [link] , a contest to renew the design for Konqui(Konqi) the Dragon, the mascot of KDE. KDE [link] is an important community of the Free Software Movement [link] . Krita, the application I'm using as my primary drawing program, is developed within KDE.

To my greatest surprise, my design was chosen! It's really an honor to be allowed to contribute artwork to the project that have helped me since the day I came to use GNU/Linux!

The contest required only Konqi, but I've also designed a revised version of Katie, his girl friend. A whole variation of KDE dragons are also added to represent various participants in the KDE community. Their antlers simply show their roles in KDE development. Examples of antler are explained on the footer, covering roles which were mentioned in the KDE "about" dialogue. This shall be the first time most people see me drawing this style. Hope you like it!

This picture is licensed under GNU LGPL version 2 [link] and later.

[link] <- Please also have a look at works from other participants! ^^

Software used:
Ubuntu [link] Operating System.
Krita [link] Drawing and coloring.
All software I used are free and open sourced. I appreciate all the efforts from their communities.

I've always followed your work, all the way back to the days of the Extvia team, and I have never once been disappointing by the grace, quality, pure skill, and raw effort you bring to your art before or since.

Your art is some of the art that initially brought me to this site and this fandom, and to me you have always been among the best artists that bring value to the art community as a whole, not just lover's of anthropomorphic art.

Never stop drawing, your art is simply amazing. Congrats on the win, you definitely deserve it ;)
