Anyway, I needed a definite image of the emperor for my novel, so I took to make a sketch of him. And surprisingly, it was not hard to do so. There is one mistake in this sketch; I outlined the edge of his cape, yet that is not supposed to be visible, as the cape goes behind his wings. I was just too lazy to fix it and rescan.
And yes, he almost always wears very little. It is not a sexual thing; heavy clothing would hinder the Emperor's ability to fly away from any potential threats.
A rather frustrating thing about my drawings is that I often get sketches looking so nice, but inking the darned pics makes them lose lots of details and roughness that I think makes them look better.

On the wearing very little: Worry not about that. :# As a dragon myself, I either wear very loose clothing, little or no clothes; it's hard to design a kind of shirt that works well with scales, though I think I came up with a couple of concepts. Send me a note, if you're curious.
On the sketch/inking effect: If inking tends to take away a lot of the roughness of your images, consider simply resketching over it perhaps? Darkening the lines without removing those little rough edges that make the picture look the way you want it to might help.
Another idea (NO idea if it will work, or even if) would be maybe try to ink in those rough elements... give a touch of ink to the parts that you think give your art that certain character, and see how the end result looks, perhaps...
