I don't think he's gonna make it. Detail from a bigger picture that's not quite done. If I ever get around to finishing it I'll post it up here. And yes, the Dragon's arms are too long for his body. No I'm not going to fix it.

Ah ha! I've figured it out! You need to have his chest overlapping his right arm to make it look like its falling behind his body instead of in front. *wink wink*

Now this is darn cool! Sucks to be thats guy! ;D I have to agree with everyone else though, I think his arms are the right size for his body. My only problem is with his right arm. To me it looks like its backwards and I can figure out why. Maybe its just the shading or the way you did the muscles, but I swear, if you just turned the hand around you'd have a perfect left arm facing away! 1 But besides that, its an awesome drawing!

Its really great. The dragons arms are totally correct though. Stand up and see to where your arms go. Normally a persons arms reach to the knees

great job. The picture is very smooth. THe dragon is very nice. Heh, I wouldnt wanna be the knight right about now.

Woohoo! Another potential source of inspiration. Maybe that'll get incorporated into my story about your dragons. From before. I should post it.

So what if the arms are too long? Artistic licence! The arms can be as long as you want them to be. And besides, it still looks better than some mythological "sketches" I've seen. Like the werewolf in the third Harry Potter. Uuugh.

Pff. There goes *another* knight. I need to recruit more.

HAND!

Very nice. I love the dragon's face and feet; they are wonderfully drawn and stylized. I don't think the long arms are necessarily a bad thing. After all, who said dragons have to have humanlike proportions? If I have one gripe, it would be his chest (he looks like he could use more pectoral muscles). Still, great pic overall!

Just to put my two cents worth in:

I don't think that his chest needs to be changed; it simply looks like the dragon is twisting around. The spine is amazingly flexible.

Also, I'm not sure that most people's arms do reach to their knees. Close but not quite. Although, his anatomy looks quite believable. Different species have different proportions after all.
