    Looks like she used sharpies for the final coloring and such? Nice look :) If anyone else wants to do this kind of thing, I HIGHLY recommend sketching it out in pencil on your lid before you use the marker ;) And try the marker in a bottom corner of your lid to make sure the color looks like you think it should before you commit to it. You may also consider using a paint-pen (you can find them in metallic colors usually, other colors sometimes, and usually at craft-type or hobby/model stores).

    Looks great, though :) I love the new-style chinese-ish dragons like that.

    Very nice design, although some artwork would look nice on my laptop at LAN gatherings, school campus and whatnot. But when I am in my office the first thing they see is the back of my laptop when co-workers come into my office. So is a no go, otherwise I would have your sister draw me something nice.

    Did they complain that you had drawn on it?
    Or was it removable with some cleaner?

    That's a shame. I liked the Dragon design.
