Really like it.
Original with a six-limbed dragon that doesn't walk on four legs, and the pure artwork is amazing.

Hi,
I would like to add your breed to BodAs collection of breeds on dA, if you dont mind.

This creature isn't mine, so I can't give you permission to use it. I only drew it because I was paid to do so by ~shiari , the person who created it. If you want to use this picture, you need to talk to ~shiari , not me.

Okay, thanx for this. I'm going to aks ~shirai

Absolutely not. This is not a stock image, nor a stock character, and the character belongs do ~shiari and not me (so I couldn't let you use it anyway.)
...but thanks for asking.

Awesome! I'm in fact working on a thing about species for a story of mine, any advice?
(hope I'm not bothering you, it's just been incredibly hard to find this sort of work on dA)

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. 
For a reference sheet, just include everything you think someone might need to know in order to draw this character correctly. I start with a main body view with colors, and if it flies, a diagram of the wings - the shape, how many digits, etc. Then I add pictures of whatever else needs a picture, like the color of the inside of the mouth and the type of teeth and tongue... stuff like that. Then I come along with text and point out the important stuff, just so you really can't miss it. Basically just keep in mind: "give the viewer everything they need to know to draw this character the way you want."

Ah, thanks. I'm really sorry that was confusing.
Your art looks really great! I love the detail in it, and thanks for the information on how to do a ref sheet.

Uh oh...but what if she gave it to me to use? Do I still get a spork in the jugular?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, she paid for it so she can do whatever she wants with it, as far as I'm concerned.
But for anyone else, it's the spork with them! >:E

Awesome, as usual, I love the detail that goes into all of your drawings, it reminds me I need to draw more often
Ha! I combat your spork with a, a, a rocket propelled weasel!

I really love the anatomy here, it's very nice. Great job on that. 
You've set up this reference sheet wonderfully as well. I envy your reference sheet makin' abilities. Mine always fail 
I love those claws.

This is such a clean and to-the-point reference sheet. I really dig how you made the proportions just so - getting bipedal dragon-like creatures down isn't so easy. The detail you put into the folded wings is really nice, too. :3

The Shinoar is definitley a well developed species. Well done as usual.

Damn, I wish I was as good at anatomy as you...
This is awesome!

Wait... So it has "Technically" four arms?
The only mythical creature to have four extensions plus wings is the Griffin. And even then those appendages are mainly used for walking.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You clearly forget the western dragon. *grins* The shinoar are similar, only they have a therapodian stance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've really got to brush up on my dragons studies...
Biologically speaking, the only creatures to have six or more appendages are insects.
Birds, bats, and winged creatures only have two legs and two wings, the wings doubling as arms. But are these dragons made up on the spot? Or are they historically drawn, or sourced from novels, movies, etc...?

The shinoar are a visual representation of how I feel mentally. Thus, I made them up myself with no real references, and hence why I don't really consider them dragons. Warm blooded? No scales? Mammalian dentition? Not particularly dragon-like.

Indeed not, but still very cool.
I keep referencing them as "Raptors with wings."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those, actually, would be the Shivae.

wow ur anatomy is so impressive, argh folded wings are so hard to do but u nail them perfectly
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very beautiful. I love the way the wings attach partly to the tail; it makes it so they seem more stable and such (not so rippable).
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
very cool, another amazing dragon from you. Do you look off of things that the person you are doing them for has, or do they only describe it to you and you take it from there?

Now that's what I call dedication! You're realy into it, which makes this an awesome pictures, as always

Fancy, fancy! I'd love to have one as a pet! They're friendly, right? 
Beware the wrath of the a broken spork.

Another great work; I love the image of this creature racing along the plains. Really nice work capturing that motion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
really neat. :0 the wings almost look like they'd be the primary arms, and the others are just extras.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that would be correct actually. The middle limbs were for holding and fine manipulation. Gross movements, and gestures were performed by the wings, which is why the two thumbs are there. Let's em grab things and draw them closer.
