It looks like she would be talking to the creature and saying: Don't you worry, I'm not going to hurt you. You're safe with me. The creature is not sure if she's serious and trustful so it keeps its dangerous posture but it will eventually relax and they will become friends :)

It's a realistic illustration. The girl's posture and body look natural and I like that there is something magical about her (of course it's the wings) :) I've also noticed her guardian friends flying above her watching the creature, ready to protect her :)

Thank you for sharing!
