Well, 'Drakon' is the ancient-greek name for the powerful beast we know as the Dragon. The word apparently means 'Great Serpent'. Tell me what you think!

This is just lovely. I adore the expression this picture has, and the detail is wonderful. Great work!

I'm an absolute dragon FANATIC, so I'm glad you asked for opinions! My favorite part of the entire pic' is the eye. Love the eye. I'd have to disagree with the mouth and teeth, though. Think of the back of the lower jawbone as being a pivot-point for the entire lower jaw. The mouth should be able to close completely and fit together flat. In other words, the way you have it now, well, if the upper and lower jaws were parallel to each other, they wouldn't meet. My suggestion: make the FRONT of the lower jaw lower than the BACK. See what I mean, or did I totally lose you? Oh, well. Lastly, try not to emphasize ALL of the back of the lozer jaw. Just the part that touches or is next to the neck, otherwise it makes it look like it's jaw bulges or it's skeletal (no offense). I hope my "essay" wasn't too confusing for you. Keep it up!

Now, what have I told you about "essays"?? Anywho, I love dragons almost as much as Becky does. And I'd have to say... AWESOME!!! *controlling herself* I'll leave alone now............

Nicole, the eye has amazing depth and the rest of the picture is very good, but all the depth is in the eye, you shoulda gone back and added a few more shadows.

You have great ability in stirring my imagination. I can just imagine this ancient beast (being as wise as he is) being able to talk in any language. An oracle of his realm.
Well Done!
