I first discovered Vernon through her art, too -- I think via an LJ friend who was already a fan? I actually never read her comics (Digger or Nurk), but spotted the Danny Dragonbreath books at the library, and since my kids were in the target audience, gave them a shot. Well, all three of us liked them a lot, and at this point both I and my 17-year-old are big Hamster Princess fans (we even wrote a Yuletide fic, lol). I got to meet Vernon briefly at Worldcon last year, and she signed two Hamster Princess books for me -- one for my 7-year-old ~god-daughter and one for my 17-year-old and me :P
Anyway, I need to go read your Bighorn Pears fic! -- but just wanted to mention that it looks like Vernon has reorganized her website and the link no longer goes to the artwork. It looks like deviantArt might be what you have to point to now (or at least I assume this is the right painting; bless Ursula for having a dedicated "weird fruit" gallery XD)
I love most of the Vlad line-up designs, even the ones where they don't match my own mental image too closely (like Cawti and Kiera; I have no mental image of Kragar -- which I suppose is fitting -- so can't say if he matches or not :P) Loiosh is super cute! -- and I like that he looks both reptilian and somewhat birdlike, especially in motion. And the body language between Morrolan and Aliera is GREAT! :D (as are Aliera's expressions in general; I love the headshot of her looking pissed).
