First Digital dragon with my own new tablet! I just needed to draw Arcon again! I Just really like his design. And his colors are great to. He redesigned him abit. I gave him a more human look. I think it worked out.
Ehm 40 hours Photoshop. I drew him without scales or at least very little. I´m trying some other styles. But there are still alot of details in it. I´m going to try to make even less details in another deviation. I experiment in coloring, anatomy and composition.
Enjoy! Critics are welcome!

Average Score: 9.8 / 10
I really like how natural an unnatural beast looks like in this picture. The wings aren't full spread out, but the curve inwards doesn't sacfrice the integrated of the drawing. I also enjoy how it isn't perfectly symmetrical and by that i mean one of side of the creature isn't almost identical. The wings have an extra part to it and there isn't a mathematical set number of feathers on both sides.
Great job, Ruth.
I love the dragon's design and the coloring is just, just... wow. Seriously good art with a lot of care put into it. Wow...
ya I have a few beefs -for one I personally think the neck is too long.. and the wings generally come out of the shoulder flades for dragons, not the sides unless its a dragon with spine wings that run along the course of its entire body..
I like its ears though.. the head is a bit awkward as you have a bit of a top/side thing going on at the same time..
good use of foreshortening though :)

You have some true talent man, the level of detail in this picture is perfect. It doesn't have too much, or too little, giving it a sort of balance. It's very pleasing to the eye.
Absolutely unbelievably awesome!
This is a perfect example of your design talents, it is really original and it works amazingly.
I mean, who else than you can design and draw an insanely cool snake-ish dragon, that has a man-like body, feather wings (instead of the standard leather all dragons have nowadays) AND a nice haircut :P
I especially like the head, I just can't describe how cool it looks.
The tail is kinda Shenron... ever watch Dragonball?
The rest of it is also A-class, keep up the good work!
Just pure amazing!
The colors, the dragon, I loved it!

you should make him...er.../it/ metalic silver
Would look pretty bad ass on a vehicle of some sort. Pay attention to light sources though, the plates on the underside of the dragon don't appear quite natural, but the amount of texture mostly makes up for it. The wings turned out very well.
