Rakur_Rykaran
Let's see how many will read this .
The "other" abilites may change over time. I'll add these in the description of the submission over time
I also put the personality in here again:
Rýkaran is a calm and friendly rakur, most of the time. He is not much of a talkative dragon. He prefers to concentrate on savouring nature and the daily life in his tropical rain forest. It are the simple things he loves most. These are hunting, eating, flying, strolling around, enjoy the feeling from the nature around him with all his senses. He is a loner mostly; he however enjoys the company of another being from time to time. Due to his friendly nature it can take a while before he gets angry. If someone is disturbing him, however, ignoring his snarls is, to put it mildly, unwise. He is a guardian of nature and a capable fighter.
As Guardian of nature he is an executor of the dual aspect of the living nature. This means, those who disturb the natural circles of nature, the forest, or life and death will suffer his wrath. He loves to strike fear deep into the hearts of his enemies, especially into those who are huge treats to his beloved forest and its inhabitants, or his friends. He has a sadistic inclination, which he only shows when fighting against enemies who are responsible for huge pain and/or suffering.
All those who are in the unlucky position to face him as an enemy, will have to fight against a ferocious and highly agile foe.
He could hunt his prey from the skies outside of his forest, he however on one paw enjoys stalking his prey and ambush from the branches of the forest and/or chasing them through the forest. On the second paw his eyes are adapted to the twilight of the tropical forest; In bright sunlight his eye sight is not very good. He is proud, yet stubborn. He refuses to give up when something catches his mind.
His scales are warmth emitting. This prevents his body from over-heating, but it can also make him freeze when it is very cold and his body is not able to create enough warmth.
He often eats the whole prey, leaving nothing but a bit of blood and something scrapes of fur, skin, feathers or scales.

*I may be too early but I found this ref on browse-new FA so I wanna comment it now, I think artist will see it as well :3 *
Oh what a great character! From your profile page I can say it's a very important character for you <3 And he looks amazing! Red, blue and green color pallet works really interesting here. It's pretty classical triad of colors (I would even say, boring RGB which used a lot in sparkle OCS), BUT on this one you see complex colors (dark red and blue + some gradients and bright green) so it works so well together <3 Armour colors are fantastic too!
The artist you commissioned did an amazing job on the details: I love scales render, armour and headshots :) His face and tongue looks fun to draw and actually really attractive ^_^ I like that you showed extra details for footsteps and horns/ear detail.
Only thing that can be argued in this ref are wings — but it's actually a tricky question. I know that dragon fans are kinda divided on 2 sides: wings on the shoulders and wings as another pair of "arms" I personally prefer second one, I read/watched/looked at different examples and came to the idea that it is much more logical and anatomically correct then wings placed on the shoulder area. And here on the ref we see 1st type (shoulder-zone wings). I am not gonna say it's bad or good, I am just wondering if you thought about this part or not and what you think about this? :) I love wing design itself btw! such a fancy classy dragon here *0*
Hm, I feel like I wanna say some recommendations for text layout, but I know it is a commission and not sure if you want to hear it? After all, it's not really important and probably won't be changed ^^' I love composition and colors used as a background. As an artist, I would say much thanks if I got this reference for a commission piece :D

Thank you for your nice comment. I can see you though about what you wrote. So I thank you very much.
I do not really know what I could write, but I don't want not to answer to such a lovely comment.
And Natoli did an fantastic job indeed. She is such a great artist. It is also nice to "work" with Natoli. I guess I tested her patience some times a bit xD.
As for the wings, yeah. I think you are right. But I think both "sides" as you named it are fine.

You honour me with your words. I think I can agree with everything you say. I however have to state that I am not perfect, and I will never be. I make mistakes. But in the end it is better to be hard, than be to forgiving. Many who plead for their lives will tell you everything, which may save their live. Sometimes I may happen that I kill a sentient being that really sought forgiveness and would have become 'good' , to use this term. 'Good' in this term means it would not anymore harm nature / the forest or alike. I always have to value the risk, what if the being would trick me and countinue it's havoc on the local wildlife and/or flora?
To speak in the terms you used in your comment, I see myself more into the direction of the brutal and unforgiving nature when it comes to those who endanger the forest. But more compasionate and gentle when someone is not a foe, and of course knows to show respect.
I always try to aim for the greater good, if possible. I however have to admit, that I hope I never have to choose to give my own life for the greater good. Giving this gift, that is behind words, of my life as rakur away. It may crack my soul into pieces.
The weight on the shoulders you mention. It is good that I am not the only one who has to wear such a weight. There are many others. Other of my kin. We are territorial and either solitary or family animals. Even if I do not count everything that lifes in the forst in, even than we are not truly alone. As long respect is shown, you can always visit another rakurá. Surely you will always also find those who are more territory and those who are less.
In the end, you could see us like a big big big big family. They have their quarrels and sometimes they could "kill" each other (not really, just feel like that) but when a great danger occures they all fight as one.
Well I guess I could write much more. It is complex. But I lke to end this for now.
I am very happy with your comment. And I agree Natoli is a cutey dragoness . And handsome.

I can not promise I will never kill more than I should, but the voices of the living will help me to avoid unneccesary kills.
I am a guardian of the forest, a keeper of the wild life and nature. I shall not harm life, but harm what harms it.
I also like say one thing. This all sounds perhaps like a heavy duty with much responsibility, which is true. But it does not mean I have no fun in life. Often it is very chilly. There are not treats every few day or so. Most of the time I can just relax, fly, hunt, eat, sleep, wander around, perhaps have some little fights and have some fun with dragons, if you understand. hehe
