Dark, evil, but gracefull this dragon is gathering his followers at the beginning of time to try and finally be victorious. Hey ... and guess what: He will even be available on greetingcards within a few weeks!!! Hope you enjoy the picture. The scails certainly drove me nutts! Think it is somehow in the style of 18th and 19th century biological studies. A bit static maybe, but hey - it´s one of my first attempts on a 'real' dragon. (coloured pencil on A4)

The only thing thats looks odd is his back leg, everything else is amazingly good!!!! Hey hes shedding too! Isnt it hard to draw all those scales?! Your better at drawing than i am.... Ah well! Ill try some more!

He looks like he's shedding his skin like a snake . . . I like the dragon but snakes creep me out, especially the whole shedding thing.

I love the wings; they look like a bat's.

I don't meran to be a bother, but I was rather wandering were exactly do his wings conect to his body??? As is, it seems they are just floating there... the teeth also seem a bit ockward... I rather think he would have a hard time actually eating smth... and his hind leegs doo seem a bit too thick... but please note that these are just my own opinions and they are taken from my own standard for dragons... so by no way do I mean to say that what you did is wrong... far from it... your pic is very nice and detailled...

About those five obnoxious idiots, look at the dates. They all say Apr. 28. Chances are, all those comments were done by the same person. That's what I call disgusting. Get a life, loser; or go get high on something seeing that's what you sound like; a drug addict.

Anyways, you're art has always been a favorite of mine. Please please please post more when you get the chance. 2

awe hes cute, w/ his little scales and such.... very beautiful. I do think his teeth are strange, but i think thats only cause im in envy (i cant draw dragons w/ their teeth bare or showing).

Very detailed by the way! =3
