i started rushing on the wings towards theend... -_-'

Good coloring and shading, but I think you can do better on wings and feet, and I don't really like the head... Sorry!

I agree with Acylius. It's a very cute pose and an awesome design, but the feet are too prim and proper for a dragon, and the wings are very obviously rushed. But over all, very good.

xD heck *shrugs* it was a gift to a non-artsy friend (they dont notice these things) @rana and acylius: but i do agree about the feet =/

It is very good, but there are always ways to improve (unless you're raven...who is magical )

Oh, I'm sure even Raven could improve... Nothing is perfect, there are always things to improve

....have you seen her art? can you think of a way to improve without drastically changing her style?

Quiet, Raven's art is awesone, I just mean the artist will aways find details to improve.

well, yes, but I sure cant!

I love the wings and how your did the shiny on the mane...really pretty. And I really like the swirly rocks too..^^

I can't tell if it's rocks or water

xD Both??

Rockwater! lol...that actually couldn't work b/c earth and water are opposites just like water and fire are opposite. In fact, earth is stronger against water than fire is, because earth sucks up the water, makes you dry, whereas for the most part fires can just be put out, and the steam drawn back to yourself.

love the tail and the main!!! @ Rana, isn't it like, earth and air are opposits, fire and water are opposites, and lightening and ice are opposites?

you need to see the feet as feet, and not toes on the leg. feet are supposed to be large enough to balance that whole dragon, so they should not be so small. the head is too far back into the neck. you should have it be more in this order: nose, snout, curve of head/eyes, jaw, THEN the neck. your neck is like in the middle of the jaw. the body, tail and wings are very good, and i really like the detail of the spines and how you made them look 3D!! the coloring is amazing, espcially with the hair. one more thing, other than the head and feet, this picture is really good, but a picture this good deserves shading, dont you think?

well, yeah. But the deal with water is that it isn't beat by fire. It's actually beat by earth. That's why I sometimes have problems using my powers in deep caves or deserts. Water beats fire. Fire beats air, air beats earth. lightning and ice don't really have a connection as far as I know. Water strengthens electrical power, but lightning doesn't necessarily hurt water, except to turn it to smoke, which can still be controlled. fire beats ice. but that's it as far as I know.
