He's so pretty!

I agree! I absolutely love his design and he was really fun to paint <3

One of the prettiest and one of the most beautiful portraits of golden dragon i had seen for a quite a while
His expression of kindness and his eyes filled with gentle green shine brighter than his scales that show a more dim and more ancient kind of gold
It is like his scales soaked with wisdom and experience of ages instead of being shiny and flashy like a newly forged gold that is young and bright
I almost can mistake him with bronze dragon because of these green frills. But i guess his humble yet beautiful and magnificent nature also reflects in such appearance
Incredible work!

I'm pleased to hear the nature of the character reflects accurately in the art, down to minute details :)

With such a taste in artists and the skills of mentioned artist it is not a hard task to do
Yet i must praise your ability of creating characters as well
It is rare to see connection between design choices and appearance
But in my humble opinion it is the most important thing when you want to create amazing, beautiful and memorable character
And this one will be remembered for a long time

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad that you liked this artwork and I really enjoyed reading about your way of seeing this picture <3

I'm very glad you enjoyed drawing him, it shows! What a magnificent portrayal, you truly did justice to my vision there. ^^

Thank you very much, I'm very happy that you liked the final effect! :D
