Here's a piece I finished recently.
I was really happy doing this one, but in the end I think there
are definetely areas I could have done better.

Still though, did put some time into it, and I like the outcome,
but lets see what you guys think?

Looks alright. I think the neck protrudes just a bit more than it should. That, or actually, I think the head may be dislocated from the neck.

Here is what I did after a little fiddling around in PS.

I moved the head back a little bit
I extended the leg
I put the foot on a raised surface to match perspective.

I think that's one big thing, the last one- You put both feet on the same plane, but with one knee bent, It wasn't working too well, so I just drew in something for it to stand on.

It's very nice though, and I like the musclature!

Hey thanks for the feedback,
I see what you mean about the foot..

I was thinking about that as I was putting in the shadow of the ground at
the end, I was thinking that I just really wasn't feeling the shadow for some
reason, but couldn't put my finger on it..
I just went ahead and got rid of the shadow, this is mainly just a character piece so no background for now at least.

The neck is supposed to be elongated though,
as he is a dragon afterall, and I wanted his pose to have his head pointed forward not leaning back. But I see how it can look a bit odd.
I think the problem is more than his hed is jetting forward whereas his torso leans back alittle
