Description
~~~Part 2/4 of a commission for - this time a gradient-shaded pic of her Glass dragon, Dichroic. ^^
Dichroic is so pretty!~~~ And not as 'difficult' as people claim he supposedly is, don't worry Dracona-Fin.
I'm used to fancy, striped dragons, and blue is one of my favourite colours, so he was a pleasure to do.I also tried a little something different on those twin tails - little circles of shading to show off his shiny, glassy appearance. Whaddya think?
Two down, two to go! Thank you Dracona-Fin!
Commissions in this style are still available to anyone interested. ^^
Enjoy!

Love the coloring. The double tails are a very interesting twist, and the glow effect is great! Now, since dragons aren't real, no one can really say what they look like. My own personal tastes tend toward "realism". With that view point, I would suggest the tails are too long, as they would interfere with flight. I would have them end at the bend to better match the neck length...nature loves symmetry.
The body is well done and muscled enough to power this beast into the air. I would however make the wingspan wider to add enough surface to provide lift.
Thats all based on realism. I don't consider this "criticism", since it's an imaginary creature, there is no right or wrong! Do your thing, you're doing it well!! Keep it up!!

Lets start off with the good things about this piece of art, first great colors and details and i love the different colors of blue. Very bright and neon but you could barley see the face of the dragon just a little but, everything else is super great!! The only other bad things about this artwork is that, well you cant see all the detailing, i mean you can see most of it but not all of it. You dont have to change your style at all.
Cant wait to see more artwork from you and keep up the good work.

BLUES! You always manage to make them so vibrant, despite their disposition to be βcoldβ colours! So much depth. As for the βglass shadingβ while it is a deviation from your normal style it still fits in with the overall feel and flow of the piece.
All those stripes⦠I always find them hard with Dichroic in particular⦠mainly because they seem to follow some sort of amazing pattern! You carried them off soooo perfectly, and I will admit seeing the stripes over his thigh randomly reminded me of Skeezit *gives Skeezit love while she is on tangent*
Iβm so glad you enjoyed working on him though

Blue is my favourite of my favourite colours, hehe.
The stripes reminded me of Skeezit too! 
Oh yeah, that'd be fun! The more dragons, the merrier! ^^

I gotta admit it shows! All the lovely blues! His wingsβ¦ homgβ¦ they have to be some of the more unique ones I have seen (and I can say this without sounding up myself as the original design was not mineβ¦ this is my flimsy reasoning and Iβm sticking too it
XD Iβll drop you another PM with all the plots β¦ when I can decide who to βborrowβ for art purposesβ¦ its always so hard to pick

Oh yeah, the wings are definitely like...no other wings I've seen, I have to admit. To me, they have a very space-like vibe, like the loose wing finger would be more suited to less gravity and floating through stars... But hey, I like space. 
And sounds good!

The lack of membrane on that final finger would indeed make for good 'space' wings.
I think in the end my adaption of Di had him using them like an extra finger or something (would have to dig out my notes)

Ah, an extra-long wing finger would actually be pretty sweet - for like climbing and fun stuff. ^^ *pictures him in a rainforest*
And okay! X)

Very nice, I love the colouring and the glowy
The tails look a bit uncomfortable bent at that angle, but then I'm a dragon that doesn't have a very flexible tail.
