My third elemental dragon. The Dragon of Air. His name is Arcon. Like the Serpent it's snake like. It has to forearms and two large wings. This dragon controls the weather. It's most active at daylight. His brother The Dragon of Night is active(aka Mirnah)at nightfall, he to can control weather but is much gentiler than his daylight brother. No wonder there less storms at night than day.
Painter and Photoshop work. I think I could have done better. But I'm keeping him like this.
Took me about 25 hours to draw.
Enjoy!

Your art is amazingly lifelike, and I have made a few peice my background. But what makes it lifelike is not how perfect it looks. It looks that way through the imperfection you have in your style. Life is not perfect, and neither should art, the most purest represtation of it. So keep the imperfection and build on it, at the rate you are going I expect to see your name somewhere high, soon.
My only complaint is the rather bland lighting. Given that this dude is spitting lightning out of every orafice, I think that a greater contrast between the lit and shaded portions of the dragon would make it a much more dynamic pic.
Beyond that, though, this is stunning. The wings kind of remind me of the Thunder Bird from LoZ II; brings back fond memories.
Brilliant, i love this
To the guy who says this is stolen. Who cares if this is stolen! I belive that Archir made this even if he copied off of someones elses work i still think that he made this. and if i was as good as Archir all i would be making is dragons so dont think that just because an artis make just dragons means that they are stealing other people's work.
To artist. Very good though its more like its a dragon of energy not air. If i ever write a book you could make the creaturs i think of i have the story line of the book in my head but all i have to do is think of good names that fit the caracter and i am not good at that.
that guy doesnt know wtf he is talking about yeh i had a hard time beleaving the 2 hr paint job n.... i saw u draw a asian dragon in1 hr? wow sorry it is still hard to beleave but damn u r a peice of art urself u know. art that makes art wow soo wonderful. u have a splendid ammount of talent just bursting wonder if u travel much. if not u should it does change ur point of view of things u have thought of before
You've made such great artworks, I've seen your dA - since I have a dA too.
I really like the details like wings, faces, shadings and skins (may I say, scales). The colors blends perfectly too, my favorite is the Lapis Lazuli. Very beautiful. ^^
I remember seeing all the wips to this particular work, why not just upload one of your .psd or like a pdf to show some of the layers. Or dont do anything at all, he is a 14 year old little shit. Someone thought i had stolen one of my own works as well, because they couldnt read my signature XD.
Nearly everything you have uploaded so far is stolen from google image search or photobucket. There are pictures the exact same as the ones that you have uploaded that are more than a year old and not a single one of them doesn't appear at least once when using the right keywords.
For example on photobucket search for "Electric Dragon" this picture comes up about five-nine times in the results and it's upload date on each is very old.
In other words from now on i'm giving everyone of your submissions 0/5 until you give credit to those who really made it or delete them.
Anyone else can search and see what I mean for themselves.
If you want more proof here are a few other suspicious things that I've noticed:
-1- In every picture your style of drawing varies greatly.
-2- In all honesty what artist only uploads pictures of dragons with the occaisional animal thrown in? If you really were a good artist you would make many other types of pictures.
-3- Your art in your movies/games isn't even a fraction as good as this and their style is just insanely different.
I urge everyone who reads this to report the image.
Also: I don't expect you to react kindly to this review, I fully expect you to defend your claim to this and your other "works".
But no matter what you say I refuse to believe you made this without a video of some sort in one of your news post showing you at least scethching out your next submission of equal quality to this one and your others.

As I said I have made these images. A lot of the images you found on Photobucket are stolen form my da account. Thanks for letting me know because I've been hunting these people down for a while now.
If you want proof I can let a whole bunch of artists I know tell you that i am the artist. I can also make a drawing for you showing that have the skill to draw these creatures. I've also been in a magazine showing my art, You can call them I you want.
I can also show you original sketches of the images.
Check my DA gallery you can see when these images where uploaded: http://ruth-tay.deviantart.com/gallery/
as always this is awesome.
to the guy below, it says in the description "dragon of air. "
what kind of dragon is this one? (please answer)
really weird dragon, but it's really cool... weird head, that's it
I love how the dragon has bird like wings with scales that extend past them to control the lighting. I also like how its more asian than some of your other drawings, instead of having hind legs and a large stomach and a strong chest.
The only problem I can see is that one hand has 3 fingers and the other has 4.
Besides that, I love all of your drawings, I was just on here yesterday and you have already added 4 new drawings for me to gasp at!
this... this is.... SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!! its a great piece of work! i love it the shading the lights! THE lightning!! it amazing this must have taken FOREVER!!! more than 25 hours in my mind! O.O i love it but i don't think a dragon would have fur on its back or feathers, but hey thats just me!!!! great work keep it up man!
`nuff said
Very nice detail with the wings, loved the lightning effect.
I especially like the lightning coming down from the tips of his wings
