It has a really nice style, especially the wings are very detailed! Good work!) I think you could improve it with some low shading.

Thank you very much for the kind words! =D

I would love to improve this piece in any way I can, so the advice is very much appreciated as well ^^

Whoa. Major improvements here.
The scales and wings are pretty great, and the anatomy is rather solid. BD

Only things I can nitpick about is the leg placement (either the tail is too long or his leg is too high up) and the face (shading would help, but his head looks a bit too jagged compared to the rest of his body). Also the butterfly has an odd shape, but that's it for my critique. Good job!

Thanks =3

I can send you a picture of the actual figurine, so you can see what I had exactly to work with.

Ooh. Please do.

Here's what I had to look at:

Ooo, ic. Tis pretty accurate. BD

Yeah, iThink the tail is just oddly made on that statue. There should be some sort of indication as to where the rump ends and the tail begins, but it all just kind of blends together. Your dragon does seem to have a more jagged snout, though. The bottom lip isn't quite connecting with the upper one, and there's a tiny dent below his right nostril (viewer's left), which might just be a miniscule ink splotch.

Since the butterfly is perched on the side of the log instead of the top, the perspective is basically spot-on. I would just raise the bottom wing to make the body thinner, and then extend the wing's tip a little, since it's closer to the camera and should thus appear larger than the top wing. iAlso notice that things are generally wider in your drawing than the reference statue, but the sense of scale is still accurate, so is not problem. I just like noting trivial things. *snirk*

Seriously though, nice job. I was super impressed when I first saw this. BD

Yeah, the head never looked "right" to me. Just seemed a little fat or something, but no matter how many times I erased and went back over it, it never looked accurate, so I finally just left it and moved on. I was going to try and use just the scales to indicate the limbs (as in no outline there), but I chickened out when I couldn't get it to work, haha.

Looks fantastic so far jeffy! Gosh you just keep improving! ^.^ Amazing!

Awwr, thank you very much =D

*offers huggles* have you spoke to matt recently?

*huggles back* I haven't actually. I should give him a call or text when I get off work today.

yea, i can imagine he must be pretty down. We arent dating anymore, he needs to look into his mental health so we mutually broke it off.

Aww... that is very unfortunate to hear. It's a shame that it didn't work out =(

Yea, but i still wanna be friends with everyone and support matt in his time of need, though my support with not come monetarily, i will try to be there for him mentally.

Very nice! :D
You did get a lot better!

Thanks ^^

I had a long time to work on it, and it was essentially just drawing what I saw which is a lot easier.

Oh I know, it has happened to me too!

But still you've gotten better!

wow that's a lot of scales!!! i get sick of drawing stuff like that so easily nice work dude!

Heh, thanks! I was able to split it up over several days, so that's why I didn't get too bogged down with it.

I was going to try to keep the outlines off of the limbs and try to show that they existed solely based on how the scales were angled, but I chickened out and put the outlines in anyway =b

Damn, son, you've been practicing! :D

I really like all the little details on the wings and the scales. Very nicely done, Leezard.

Thanks! =D

It means a lot to hear that ^^
