Great work on the scale texture...
the BG? well it could be a complementary color to red...

[Forge]

There is something wrong perspectively with the necklace...CHANGE IT! ;)

You don't want to hear anything about the colors...hmmm..........er......try red, green, white and gold...hehe......i care about you...

Put a Santa-Claus-Cap on the dragon's head...or a golden star hanging on the necklace...

[Mr. Teatime]

maybe for the backgroud you could put a dark green forest

[Forge]

thx dudes,
fozzy i saw the perspective error when i saw the dragon on my screen so i changed but didn't repost it ;)

just a quick question/observation...
as far as i know, chinese dragons never had wings...they were always long serpintine creatures...its a nitpick, but i thought id bring it up.

i like it tho =)

[Forge]

i know but i show it to childrens and they all say " but how does it fly ??? " so....

Looks like he's full of cotton. I would reccomend showing some signs of internal anatomy. (Bulge for a ribcage etc...)

I've got a pic of a chinese dragon I did several years back. I'll scan/upload it when I get home.

I'd like to see the left foreleg (farthest from us) changed so that it is pointed down and in a different direction than the head. Might help to give the impression of flying, and serpentine flexibility.

Not sure I agree about having a bulge for rib cage, but you can show more depth by really suggesting the scales along the body.

thanx for helping dudes,
but u know It was a really small work, it's already executed, printed, etc... don't have time to spend with it... but otherside i'm curious to see your dragon :chug:
