Description
EDIT: Added wing height to size comparison chart.
I've been working on this thing for the past three days!
But it's a brand new, and VERY WELL ORGANIZED reference sheet for Neffertity!
Seeing as my birthday was coming up, and Neffertity ages with me, she needed a new ref sheet and strangely, after I did the Dark Injection Midnight piece for my friend, my drawing style changed and became more anatomical! Weird huh?So, after everything on this sheet was done I gave it a pretty background and then VWALA! Pretty Neffy!!! I am very pleased with how her fire turned out too.
After shading her wings though I felt like I was just gonna straight up die right then and there!
But, overall I think I captured all of her details and they are well organized. ^_^
Enjoy!!!
Art/Neffertity are Β© ME

Well, I don't insist, but I believe that it's possible to keep both the style and the anatomy.

not that its any of my business but I couldn't resist, man Iβm a comment stalker XD but hereβs my opinion
I donβt believe that there is an anatomy for a creature that doesnβt exist, each person has their own personal anatomy for such a creature and thats what makes it unique ^^

Comment stalking is fun.
Well, my opinion is quite opposite. I don't deny the fact that every artist has their own base for a dragon (dogs, horses, cats, ostriches even 
Do you like both [link] and [link] ? If not, then why do you say you don't believe in their anatomy? If yes, do you think both examples would live happily if they existed?
And no, if they don't exist, it doesn't mean that they can be so deformed; they have to have at least a bit of sense. I'm not perfect, but I try to become better. If a person doesn't want to improve, it's dead. Even great artists do anything to improve despite drawing so well.
I'm sorry, but I want to puke every time I see something like this [link] . That's why I'm not a fan of any Spyro related styles, nor CASF's style copies.
I have good friends who draw much better than me, and their styles differ as rainbow colours, but they follow anatomy.
You may disagree with me, it's your right. But I will stand still on my opinion.

And I completely respect your opinion, you like what you like and cause its your right
I too have tried to stay away from a spyro style but at a point i came to realized that iβm a cartoonist and thats how I roll (well Iβm actually more manga style it's my heritage XD)
But believe me I have seen artist with the most anatomically incorrect pieces of art work in the world who are famous for some apparent reason (*clears throat* Picasso) and I doβt understand why critiques donβt give them a hard time with their horrid human anatomy and yet they give fantasy artist a hard time
I just donβt believe there is a correct way to draw a mythical creature and people shouldnβt judge on it if its correct or not
unless like in your case they are aiming for a more realistic look then fine go ahead

I guess Picasso is a wrong example. He did know basics of human anatomy before starting to draw "wrong". A quote from Wiki says "Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence", see?
Anime and manga artists do study the real anatomy and adapt it later for their works (not everybody, but, like almost all mangakas I know). Chibis cannot be judged by anatomy though, but by the way how the artist managed to save main features and make the character so "kawaii".
Yes, there is not one correct way to draw a fantasy creature, but a few, depending on your animal base. That's why dragons don't look alike [link] , [link] , [link] , etc.
I appreciate when people point at some mistakes, helping me to improve; I do it too, sometimes.
Btw, "no critique" means only 2 things: either the artist already knows what's wrong with the work, or he/she doesn't want to improve. I don't understand the second type.
The dragon you draw must be pleasant to look at. Of course, it's related to preferences, but still.
For example, if I would critique one of your works, hmm, this one [link] , for example, I would tell you to make legs a bit shorter, the body - a bit thicker and the wings... oh well, to do them differently, with this tutorial [link] . You don't have to follow my advices though, as you said. But I think it would make the anatomy better (and, therefore, you'd get more people who appreciate your art, more watchers).
Believe me, a year or so ago I was stuck on drawing characters only in profile view. I didn't do any different poses. But then, one deviant told me to try different poses and views, including the views of the head. I felt offended, but now I'm so thankful to him, you can't even imagine.
Do you want to get better? If yes, then feel free to experiment.

Picasso might have been a bad example (thats because I absolutely hate his works) but wiki is also a bad source of information cause anyone edit it to their preference
I practice in the manga arts traditionally and I make sure i am anatomically correct with it I have studied many different anatomies
I honestly donβt mind a critique I like to know I need to improve on somethings like my backgrounds and or shading, however I become extremely annoyed if someone critiques me or anyone else on the anatomy of a non existing (or could have existed) creature
I wouldnβt mind being critiqued on anatomy if i was aiming for a more lion like look or a horse like look.
I donβt mind being told i need to improve more i strive for it (infact i know i need to improve hehe 
as for your advise your right i donβt have to listen to it, but i do not completely ignore it my explanation for my style is that Iβm more use to drawing asian dragons(iβm from Japan) then the westerns so my style on dragons has turned out more serpent like long legs, long tail et.. so i know what you mean by being stuck but Iβm comfortable and I make baby steps every day to improve.
