This is my fursona, Reptu. He is a cyan dragon that breathes liquid oxygen instead of fire. For my the overall look, my intention was to create something simple, cute, and easily approachable. Dragons can often be seen intimidating creatures but deep down, they can be really lovable. Last, this is a vector image created from Illustrator, so I wasn't sure about the lighting. Please comment if there are ways I can improve regarding the anatomy, perspective, lighting, pose, overall character design, colors, etc.

I dont mind; I use Adobe Illustrator. Holy cow! I've never heard of SAI and FireAlpaca, probably because they're both Japanese, from what I learned in my quick research. Anyways, Adobe Illustrator is a vector program, not a raster one. That means the artwork is produced by mathematical equations instead of pixels. With raster images, the more you zoom in, the quality gets less. But with vectors, you can zoom in as far as you want without it reducing in quality because the image resamples itself with the equations. That's why the lines in this image are clear-cut. I tried to explain it as best as possible, but any video titled "raster vs vector art" will do a better job. Maybe you already knew the difference. Glad you're curious.
