Beautiful.

I like the size of those wings, very grandiose and majestic. Not to mention the eyes are simply... exquisite. Those fiery red circles drowned in that sickly yellow and adorned with crimson can either be the warmest, most compassionate sight or a most dreadful, lugubrious stare.

That feather sports a beautiful embellishment. Reminds me of the Velociraptors. It therefore adds a tint of... superiority, I guess?

The colours are great, and also the body. I commend you for your attempt in explaining how the fire breath works and not leave it as if it was merely dragged out of fantasy but instead, you tried to offer a tint of realism.

Thank you very much for your kind comment.
Yeah I'm always trying to make my creatures at least a bit realistic in their design. I don't like saying that everything is made of magic.^^

Which is very nice of you to do that.

It shows that you take your time in your designs not only artistically, but also... uum... theoretically if you pardon me for saying that. You provide them that little... touch which would allow them to transcend realism. You do not merely live them with cliches that are nothing but shallow excuses.

Commendable.
