Description
Galenbjørn is, or rather was, before he became a dragon, a Russian immigrant born in Svalbard. He worked in the coal mines of Barentsburg (Баренцбург). Although Svalbard is under Norwegian sovereignty, the unique Spitsbergen Treaty of 1920 allows citizens of signatory countries equal rights to exploit natural resources. Currently, Russia is the only country to maintain such a presence. Russia maintains a consulate in Barentsburg,the northernmost diplomatic mission of any kind in the world. Since his father is from Norway, he has a Norwegian name: "Galenbjørn" This guy will be the antagonist in a story I'm thinking up. Oh, he also has his own theme song: [link]Done in CS3 in about ten hours. Used a new technique in an attempt to draw with less lines. All in all I'm satisfied how it came out.

Thanks! The head got special attention when it came to detail, it's the part most people tend to focus on.

Very beautiful! I like how all the colors, of both the dragon and the background, seem to go well together. That said, I also like the background quite a bit too.

Wow! That is gorgeous! The background, the northern lights effects. The soft glow given off the scales. Fantastic! I also like the regal pose, showing of its dominant look, yet it stands with a natural skill of grace. In other words, I really like it! ^^ Nice work!

Excellent depiction of a white dragon. And very interesting back story. That's some interesting info about the treaty. Maybe this guy can put things to right!. Excellent work.

Ah, he's going to be the bad guy, well, sort of. Not very likeable but not really evil for just the sake of it.

So he's gonna be "dragony"

Hmh, what exactly do you mean with "dragony"?

Well, you know, that usual natural dragon attitude. It may seem evil to others what they do but they just do what they do without being bad or good. "We are what we are"

Oh right, the classic view of dragon in the West. Yes, since he's from Scandinavia his behaviour will be like that of the old Vikings.

Gotta love the aurora borealis! The details on the dragon looks fantastic as well!
Got some stuff to watch out as well though, the dragon looks slightly detached from the rest of the picture. Can't pin down what it is, but I think it could be the colour or the value range. Sorry for being so vague
Anyways, really awesome work as always!

Thanks.
I think it's becouse he's completely white, I guess it stands out against a darker background. There's sevaral layers of a single color on top of everything already to make it more uniform.

Another thing, try to clean up your sketch lines a little, tie up those loose ends. Or turn it into proper lineart
On other news, FUS ROH DAH!!!

I meant, that the details on the dragon looked quite sketchy, you may want to clean them up a little.
Or, Force Balance Push

He goes well cold Northern Russia is good for white. Antagonist? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, why does Russia always gets stereotyped as evil -_-. Is my main character the only friendly Russian and dragon? I guess so.
Other than that it is good one.
