More from riftryu
My PC restarted twice before I was able to upload it. I seriously need a new machine, baaw..
A quick full body sketch of how my male dragons basically look like, from the same sketchbook the previous two are from. Threw in some colour to see how those pens behave with this type of paper (Faber Castell PITT pen on Canson sketchbook, love them).
The wing is kinda horrible.. and I like wings ):

Interesting.
It feels very jumpy with its lower back raised about its shoulders, but that doesn't fit with its neck and head posture. A lowered head would fit better perhaps, or a lowered back. The limbs seem flimsy, especially the hind leg looks elongated too much. It's a weird combination of brawny torso on a sleek frame.
It's right hind leg appears to end in a grasping hand, is that intentional?
Yea those wings...
Overall the wing looks flat. I'm not sure how it is supposed to be positioned. The 'elbow' appears to move away from the viewer but I guess it is probably intended to come towards us. Also I don't get how the wing attaches to the shoulder blades at all. I think there should be some big muscle visible which is used to pull the wing down, which has to be the strongest flight muscle.
The configuration of the wing is horizontal while the backbone is slanted, which makes for an odd wing placement. I think they should be higher up the back and more aligned with the spine. If I imagine the wing attaches just above the hind legs it looks better.
The color job also makes the wing look far too transparent and thin near the body, but I guess that's a limitation of the medium you chose.
You know, it would make sense if this was actually the right wing, instead of the left.

Not the be-all and end-all of dragon wings, but I think this referece dovetails well with my comment:

Haha, I can always count on your honest opinion! You don't even know how much I appreciate that...
You're probably right about it's body- I should lower their back a little, though I do like their limbs...they're supposed to make them look clumsy and unsteady on the ground, but maybe I'll mess with them a little too...
And yeah- that's intentional. They're supposed to be able to grab stuff with them when in the air and such.
Hahahahaha, the wing...well, not to defend myself here but to be honest I didn't try too hard at it. The main reason of this doodle was to show the basic idea behind the silhouette of my dragons (also a filler in my sketchbook that I was supposed to attach to my portfolio)- proportions and stuff like that. I wanted to show how big the folded wing is in comparison to the body, so it's...uh, kinda a folded wing pointing up. Which doesn't make that much sense, because I usually draw four 'fingers' on it, when here there's only two. Heh...
I don't know how the wing is attached to the shoulder blade too ^^'. I kinda had that idea that the wing is more like a deformed hand with membrane between the 'fingers', so my dragons kinda have two pairs of front paws...which still doesn't make much sense, huh? Mmmmyeah...
But I take everything you said here to heart and definitely make use of it in the drawing I have in front of me at the moment, thank you a lot!
