Well, I came in second. Here's a bigger version of my horntail.

The picture was drawn freehand with ball point pen, so parts of it (the heads, the claws, the legs) don't exactly match the Maple sprite. But overall, not a very original peice. Nevertheless, I appreciate the votes. I always expected to lose, because there are really some great works of art in the contest. My particular favorites are 3 (which got my vote), 6 and 12. I'm sad to see that only one of those won along with me.
Anyways, thanks to everyone who voted for me. And congrats to number 3 :)
