This is Derkesthai FireTongue. My male Elemental Fire Dragon form. AKA, my inner demon.
Here's a little history on him, plus the reason why he's chained up. When I reached the tender age of 10, I could feel something..."grow"...inside me. And at first it had no form, barely a spark of life in it. When I became 11, puberty came in, and so did this thing inside me. While it was still an amorphous blob, Life flared up inside it and nearly took over my life when I reached that certain stage in life. Luckily it was only once a month for a week (yes he only came around when it was during my Cycles). But he was practically overpowering. My personality would change because of him. He would whisper horrible things, as well as putting seductive thoughts in my mind. If I didn't do what he wanted, he would cause me great pain and suffering, clawing my insides and making me bleed. Over time the blob started taking form. He discovered what I loved in life, so it took form of a dragon. He continued on causing me my monthly pains and sufferings.
Now comes the shackles and chains part. My doctor recommended birth control patches. I was willing to try them out (since the pills didn't work). Derkesthai (who by time finally told me his name) was not pleased, and really caused me hell, ripping my insides apart, making me sick and very depressed. But I got used to the Patch very quickly, so the chains and schackles represent the birth control patch I'm on. :) It keeps him under control...for the most part. He's still wild and chaotic, and continues whispering thoughts in my mind, and causes me some pain and bleeding. But it's not as bad as it used to be. He goes into a deep sleep when the Cycle is done with. Occasionally he sturrs in his sleep, causing either mild pain, or...ahem..."suggestive" thoughts and feelings... ^.-.^;;;
Derkesthai FlameTongue represents my inner demon and the darker parts of my personality, as well as my flirtatious side. Derkesthai is...uh...how shall I word this...randy? Yes, he has a love for females...VERY much, especially other dragonesses (I don't doubt much if he's tried to get to Star). He's not picky...and he's...well-endowed... :o *ahem* But he's also quick to anger and will not back out of a fight, whether he started it or someone else started it.
He's about the size of a semi-truck, and his wings are twice the length of a city bus. He is smaller than StarSeeker, but like Star, he can shift his size.
I didn't expect his colours to come out so good. Or in such detail! He's red with a sheen of gold, his upper wings scorched black except for a single large white spot on the middle of the blackened wings. Lining the outside of his golden belly plates are small bronze scales. His crest and spots are suppose to be copper, however Prismacolor copper looks too light and grayish. So if you want to know, his crest and spots are copper! And yes, his head is gold, and his tail and tongue are made of fire (hence his last name FireTongue). He can control the heat that radiates from his tongue and tail (it's usually noticable). Two of those double-bladed scythes on his tail are bronze, with the single large one being silver. And his horns, back plates and arm plates are purplish-black.
And his horns resemble an American Jacob Sheep's horns. :) Look it up you're doubtful, there is a sheep that has two sets of horns!
EDIT: If you're wondering why there's a plate missing between his legs there, that's where his "naughty bits" are. ;) :P (and for anyone's curiosity, his phallus is black)
Oh yeah, :Serena: has nicknamed him "Puff." XD But only her and I can call him that!

Wow, for a beginner you definately have talent and skills. :) I was never that good when I first started out. I've been drawing for about almost 12 years. I mean, I was drawing since Kindergarten, but I didn't get into it seriously until I was about 13-14.
Let me give a tiny bit of advise (that I wish other artists would listen to): Don't over-critisize yourself. A little self crit is okay, but too much will damper your talent. I don't think I'd be at this particular level in my art if I had over-critisized myself. Constructive crit is good, but destructive crit is bad.
