Tag As FavoriteComment		I decided to redesign one of the dragons I drew for my friend Marie's Acheron story. I didn't like the very flat picture I had origionally drawn, so I decided to do something with more depth to the dragon, hence the second wing goes away from you, etc. I think his head looks a little big, but then, what you see on your screen (72 dpi) is larger than actual size and for a drawing that small, I wasn't about to pull my hair out over it. I tell you, it was a pain to pen in. Oh, and though I call this a battle dragon, my friend calls it a chaos dragon.

I have to say those are the best pair of dragon wings I have seen on this site to date..and I've done a lot of looking around! Proportions, structure, angle...nothing looks awkward or forced. Marvelous12

Holy crap that's amazing!!! I love it. It could be both a chaos dragon and a battle dragon. But regardless the details are amazing and I just love the picture. You should try a picture showing this dragon and a unicorn battling out for the end of the world battle or something corny like that if you ever get a chance. Love your work.

:-) Annette M. Burke replies: "Thanks, it should look even more like both types when I finish doing a color version, but it might look aukward in a battle with a unicorn, cause this dragon is supposed to be really big."

Heyla! Good detail! I love the pose too...So call me sometime, I've missed you and I've got some updates on the acheron storyline. Later! *HUGS*

:-) Annette M. Burke replies: "Ack, I lost your number! (a while ago actually) and when I tried to send you an email not long ago, it got bounced right back cause your email was full. So, ya like the little changes I made to the origional design?"

Nicely done! I draw dragons myself. Those paws need a little work though... Overall, nice line work! The wongs are beautiful, if anatomically incorrect 10 Oh well, that's the beauty of being an artist I suppose!

1 Annette M. Burke replies: "Thanks, I have an issue with researching what things really look like, so I just have fun with it, so yeah, artistic license. As far as your second comment (correcting the 'wongs' misspelling) don't worry, I knew what you meant anyway."
