Were they supposed to be dinosuars? It's great anyways.

Why these orcs are riding dragons? Why they're not riding boars!!!!? BOARS!!! Orcs don't ride dragons or lizards. It's boars or giant-wolves. But this picture is great. Good drawing. I like the orcs because I am the orc warlord in warhammer...

:-) Henning Janssen replies: "Riding wolves and boars is for itsy weeny tiny orcies (mini orcs in warhammer!), big orcies ride raptors and are very dangerous! (hey - it´s my world, no rulebooks round here! Bo have fun!)"

YOU ARE SAVED !
These are not dragons !!!! but Tenontosours or Iguanodons.

That explains why the Snagas are riding them !!! They were grown alongside the big birds brought to extinction by evil Eowyn !

What the hell? not to be negative but these are not dragons.... They're dinnosaurs. If you want to draw a dragon they are much bigger then they broder all four of there legs reatch the ground there necks arn't that long they have massive wings and they have scales and are hidious not these little chibi dinnosaurs damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all honestly, Anonymous guy who posted before me..I don't think you've ever seen a REAL dragon so don't get too pushy with your idea of what a dragon would look like. I like this picture, it's an interesting take on dragon and orc relations. Who's to say a large enough orc army wouldn't have garnered the respect of some younger dragons and managed to use them as mounts? Or perhaps these are a subspecies of the typical "D&D" dragons that lack wings, stand on two legs, and have a lower intelligence thus making them more of a vicious kind of monster than a legendary creature. Afterall if you are hard over in the D&D "Dragon" you have to remember that the dragons you speak of are ~True~ dragons. You're leaving out Wyverns and a whole slew of others.
Speaking of which, I love your picture and would like to see your take on a wyvern used as a mount by some evildoer. Just an idea of mine if you'd like to go with it.

Hey Mr. Anonymous, you think that all dragons have four legs, two wings, scales and claws? How insulting to the dragons. Considering no one has ever caught a real dragon, and has taken extensive notes on their anatomy, dragons can be drawn anyway the artist's imagination chooses. You, Mr. anonymous, obviously wouldn't know about imagination, now would you, looking back at your idea of a dragon. And dragons are not hideous, many are quite beautiful actually. I myself have drawn dragons very diferent from the norm and am proud of it.
(Oh, and Mr. Anonymous, you spelled "dinosaurs" wrong stupid.)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! It reminds me of the old days of dinosaurs! -sigh- i wish you could ride dinosaus! Ooooooooooooooooo orcs! I really like the landscape!

Many people have noted that these are not your 'classic' dragons. you said big orcies ride raptors' I would point out these are not any of the deinonychidae family (as are veloci- and Utah-raptor) they need the big claws on their hind feet.

Those who can, do, those who can't, criticise those who can.

because im in a bad modd and Selene, Moon-goddess is annoying as hell im going to say shut up to her and dont call people stupid because you never know, you might be wrong as hell as well. As it happens, you are, in that some has 'caught a real dragon', and some has 'taken extensive notes on their anatomy'. They do have four legs, scales, and are the largest lizards in the world. and no they dont breathe fire, they spit blood.

sorry but as i said im in a bad mood and your aggression towards mr Anonymous just pissed me off
