Description
Finally my gallery get's some full drawn dragons! It is a little half-backsided in detail. Sorry about that...>_<;As you can see, there are three types of dragons in my world:
Drakes, Wyverns, and Wyrms.
Drakes are traditional medieval dragons. Four legs, a pair of wings, and more dinosaur-like. They come in various sizes and can used as pets, guard pets, hunting pets, aerial and terrain mounts, and for war.
Wyverns are similar to drakes, but the forelegs are melded with the wings into a single limb. Their size variations are more limited to the smallest not being all that small, and the biggest to about 12 feet tall or so. They can used almost in every way the same as drakes.
Wyrms are more closer to asian dragons due to their more serpentine frame. They don't always have legs or wings, and they are not generally kept as pets.
All three types of dragon can breathe fire.
Also sea serpents do exist, but I haven't given them full design yet.

Ugh. This is just wrong. I understand that this is your interpretation but it isn't correct. Your wyverns are ok although they would walk on their wings. Drakes DON'T have wings because when they do they are dragons. When wyrms have wings they are amphibitheres and when they have legs they are lindwurms.
You can have your own opinion but this is the right way. If you don't understand here's a chart.

This was drawn years ago, before I saw that chart. Besides, it is indeed my opinion. Take George R. R. Martin's dragons. Technically they are more like wyverns, since they have just the wings and hindlegs, but he calls them dragons anyway, because he wants them to be more anatomically realistic. In my fantasy universe, dragon is the umbrella term, while drakes are the traditional forelegs/hindlegs/wings body, wyverns are the wings/hindlegs body, wyrms are the more serpentine body, and salamanders are the wingless versions of my drakes. I know it may not be correct, but this is fantasy.

You are entitled to your opinion. Many people get this wrong in favor of other things they find more important. I don't mind it and worlds vary. I only hope that you don't proclaim that this is the right way.

Thank you! Though I plan on doing a newer version of this some day, since I've been practicing drawing dragons alot lately, so the next ones are probably gonna look alot better than the ones here.

Oh awesome, I've been drawing dragons for as long as I can remember, and you can only get better

Before I got into this dragon phase these past five or six months, I didn't really draw dragons much. My art was more focused on equine creatures like unicorns and centaurs and other things like satyrs, fauns, nymphs, and merpeople.

Oh cool. I've never drawn any of those, but I'd like to some day. I love drawing things to go with my dragons, like trees and sunsets, hills and ruins. Maybe I'll draw a unicorn one day.

You should totally draw a unicorn! I have this idea of drawing a dragon and a unicorn laying next to each other as a sort fantasy/mythological version of the image of the Lion laying down next to the Lamb that was taken from the passage in Isaiah 11:6.

That would be awesome. But unicorns and dragons are allied sometimes, both being creatures of magic. But in a way it's simliar. Asian dragons and unicorns have simliar philosophies to the way they act, but some western dragons are as opposite as a lion and a lamb. I think I might sculpt that.
