Aw, thank you so much! I've found I'm beginning to develop a fondness for dragons (though, apparently, I am not very good at following references, it would seem.) I love both of these sketches dearly, so it's something of a shame that I drew the muzzles incorrectly and require a redraw.
Really?! Oh dear, I rather like the muzzle shapes and sizes, actually. Reminds me of some of the reptiles I've known over the years (I had a friend with frilled dragons and blue-tongued skinks) which gives these dragons a very believable countenance. If I may ask, how are they incorrect? I mean they look great to me!
I feel the same way. I'm afraid I drew both the muzzles too short and the head shape on the left is incorrect. I've never been much of a dragon artist (and spent years feeling mildly traumatized by a prior experience to attempt drawing them again, until recently), so I am a bit apprehensive doing dragon work.
When it comes to commissions, though, my primary objective is always to make the client happy. c: So in that respect, I might have to sacrifice a sketch I like, or put in some extra time, but it's alright if it means they're happier with it. Getting a very pleased response makes my day.

Well I can't imagine anyone having an unpleasant experience, honestly you've been one of the easiest-to-work-with artists I've ever found on FA. And I think the sketches prove you wrong, because those are dragons, they are excellent, so you are a dragon artist. Logic, haha!!!
But seriously...I do understand that commissioners want what they want, but I personally love giving artistic license. After all, in my mind, you aren't really paying someone to draw your character (though that is undeniably a part of it) but really, you are paying to have something in their style. I'd personally call muzzle length/shape an artist-discretion thing; though I do get that not everyone thinks like this.
