Good ideia. I'll give it a try

Your drawing of the baby dragon in my opinion is the one where theme and style fits better, because most of the beauty of it (for me) is in the innocence and simplicity of childhood, light themes. I can imagine this little dragon as a character from the old Disney's cartoon "Silly Simphonies".
I also liked the drawing of the dragon drinking water, the patterns and collors of the scales were really convincing.
FInally, I think you should work a bit more on your backgrounds (and they have already improved a lot since your first subimmit), unfortunally I can't be more specific about this topic because it's something I also need to improve on my own drawings...

I'm having difficulty finding ways to improve from so many "In my own opinions". No need to hide behind "I think" statements. I find it hard to take critiques like that seriously.

But thanks anyway... I appreciate it nevertheless. I've always tried to get away with sloppy backgrounds, but I guess I need to stop doing that.

But, so it doesn't bug me, the two drawings you mentioned aren't dragons, they're both gryphons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryphon

Well, I really used "I Think" too many times, not because I'm shy or polite, it's just that I'm not a native English speaker so my range of vocabulary is not big. I would be a lot more clear and my critique would be a lot more useful if it I wrote it in portuguese

About the difference about dragons and gryphons, yes, that was a stupid mistake, but my opinion doesn't change...
I'm sorry I couldn't be more useful, but as I said it was a problem of language

Nice artwork, congratulations. Your demons are very original, they don't get limited to the standard devil style with horns and tail. Their geometric details kinda remind me of the Pre Columbian Natives Art.
