Description
I was going to do this later, but decided to do it tonight, just to complete the first four. I'll either do the Golden and Ultra Dragons after this, or the first few Original Elemental Masters. I changed the Earth Dragon's wings so that he could actually fly. I kept his four wings, but made them bigger.Related content

Would it be okay with you if I used the concepts you draw....?
I'd credit you of course, and link to both your profile and the concepts of them if I use them in a drawing.
I've just been trying for a long time to think of ideas for outfits and the dragons but I'm really bad at thinking of outfits... and I know that isn't a perfect excuse...
And I completelyΒ understand if you say no. As someone who makes art I know how it feels to get these kind of asks.

Yes, of course. As long as you credit them to me and send me a link to them when you are done, so that I know you used them.

Managed to calm down a bit from the previous Epic Dragon Overload, still freaking out a bit but thinking a bit straighter.
I love how you went into such detail on the faces, making the shapes all differ, and providing unique body types for each elemental dragon. It's brilliantly well done, and I love how much time and effort you've obviously put into them.
The elbow spikes niggle at me anatomy wise, but that's an old pet peeve I've had for years and I know the dragons in the show all appear to have something like them, so I'm not going to judge at all on that point. I absolutely ADORE the varying tail ends, and the crests you use, Shard having the soft almost feathery look and Rocky's almost crystalline growths while Flame and Wisp have the two styles of fins. All of them look BRILLIANT, and I LOVE IT.

Haha, thank you. I saw your complete breakdown in a previous comment. Glad you managed to collect yourself. Also, as for the elbow spikes, I like to think they're actually clusters of scales and not actually attached to the bone or anything. The spikes on the second joint of the back legs (the ankles) are actually toes, since the Dragon walks on it's toes and the entire third section of it's leg is the foot.

...That actually make a heck ton more sense and now I need to flail at my friend Jacob and tell him I finally have the weird elbow spike dilemma managed THAT IS BRILLIANT GEEZUS F**K.
The leg explanation makes a lot of sense as well, it's one of those traits we do actually see rather commonly in real life animals, such as cats and dogs and some breeds of lizard. Fabulous use of anatomical knowledge!

Rocky looks amazing, and Shard looks so beautiful and proud.

I like how proud the Ice dragon looks with it's upright neck and chest.

Awesome. I love how the Earth dragon looks with the mix of green and brown
