SciFi and Fantasy Art: Eastern Dragon

Well, this picture came about as a desire have a piece of artwork in my gallery that was actually worth looking at. I think that I have succeeded, and as soon as I finished this became my favorite piece of fantasy artwork that I have done. If you do not like it or find something wrong about it, however, please tell me. I won't be too crushed. Maybe...

Anyway, this is an eastern dragon. Or at least that is what the title says. I'm not really sure how accurate that is, however, as I did not use much reference in drawing this picture. I focused mainly making the body long and sinuous, and had to draw several rough designs before I hit on one that I liked. Once I did that, the main problem that I had was the positioning of the feet, which is probably the weakest part of the finished picture. However, I do like the cleaner, 'minimalistic' style that is used in shading, so expect to see more pictures done in this style in the future. I also like the background. Really, though, is there anything fluffier than a cloud?

Hum... That's all I really have to say about the picture at this time. The finished design reminds me of Haku's dragon form from 'Spirited Away.' That, however, is unintentional. As always, comments would be appriciated. (Done in ink.)
