Description This work dragged on longer than expected, about 6 hours but I am rather proud of it, though not perfect I would like to think the design is a marked improvement upon previous works, the detail not necessarily so.

I have no idea why I chose to do a fat dragon... that can't fly, I actually think it looks like a cross between a crocodile and a goat (wierd huh?) maybe thats 'cause I've never seen either in the flesh before though.

There are many things I would do differently next time, i.e. I don't like the cluttered wings very much, the head doesn't stand out AS much as I would like, plus I ran out of ideas for textures so the bottom of the legs and arms look mediocre in my opinion.

I am particulary proud of the design and proportions, because I feel it looks very natural and nothing seems to look to big or small, again ignoring the wings which I feel were a mistake. I actually started this drawing with simply the right wing, and then developed a dragon from it, I thought the wing had a lot of potential, boy was I wrong? The rest I am proud of though... and yes, finally I have a proper orignal dragon uploaded to DA, thats all I wanted.

Please coment, complement and suggest areas of improvement

This thing is very crazy just for your information!!! It is very original, unpredictable, random, and epic.
I have critiqued this based on personal preferences and past experiences. . .

I have a feeling that you did not mean to make it fat. The legs seem out of place, and not positioned to hold his "fat" body.
The strongest aspect of this is it's weirdness and randomness.
Arms on the neck, an extra random wing (small).

What I like about it is that it is detailed, and the impact was a total shock. An extremely weird and bizarre dragon monster with random body parts. . .

I hope you find my critique fair.

I partially agree, I did intend for it to be fat Its a flightless dragon afterall, I wanted it to be like a step back in evolution from you're typical dragon, and the legs are bent as there buckling under its weight, like a t-rex or any large carnivorous dinosaur/reptile the legs stick out and bend, and seeing how I think dragons to be reptile, I wanted it to be like any other i.e. heavy, small arms, sticking out legs.

AH. . . it's a style you wanted to use!!!
I thought they were random, but now they have a 'humorous-to-me' purpose.
Expect some dragons v.s. knights pics soon.

Good to see a dragon! I think the head stands out fine, and I think the wings look fine on the "squat" dragon and it is what I would expect from you, only more!

Many thanks I actually tried to make it look as though it would also walk with its two arms on the ground aswell when scavenging, hence the fat neck for ballance.

Thank you I often find creatures look more disturbing and brutal the more bizzare they are, not how much muscle they have, hence why the oddly placed limbs and 4 legs

I know Giratina, and it was one of my favourites so I'm not surprised there are similarities hasn't been years since I've seen it though but I'll take that as a compliment , loved pokemon especially the dragons... Flygon ftw!

I highly NOT recommend it!!!
It's nice to organize your art into folders listed by years. Like your oldest art goes in a 2008 folder, and your newest art into a 2012 folder.
