Brianhjh requested me to draw an Oriental dragon. Now, I'm no fan of the Eastern style dragon physiology -- too long and coily, legs too short (or outright "misplaced"), and so on -- but I agreed to it, so here it is.
And I didn't skimp on the details, either.
Neither time nor disinterest, nor my scanner nearly ripping through the paper less than halfway through it (seriously) stopped me. A torn sheet of paper isn't exactly a dream to work with, but I worked through it after taping up the rip (from the backside, of course). Much thanks to GIMP's tools, I wouldn't have been able to clean up the damage without it.
Nothing special to say about this dragon though. As much as I don't like Orientals, he nonetheless was quite fun to create!
Media: Colored and ebony pencil (plus minor computer edits)
Time spent: Five hours (plus two hours on computer)
Size: 75px/in at full view.
PS: If you have a request you'd like me to draw... well... don't call me, I'll call you.

Everyone have different views to it. Just like how you see that Eastern Dragon. I am used to seeing Eastern Dragon, so i may not be able to point out anything wrong with it.
That's all. Keep up with that nice work! :)

i like all dragons/creatures so im a fan ^^'
the way i think about it...sure its disproportional but snakes evolvesd from lizards and their skeletons have limbs but the limbs dont show outside...maybe its the same here XD lol j/k
its beautiful! thats all i can say and this *faves*
for once in my life i actually drew a dragon without sketching it first... with 100% colored pencils...O_O my friends all think its cool and want me to post it so i probably am... but i think its a little...weird?
anyway im probably bothering you with all this typing so im gonna go away now :P bye ^^

As usual, I love the colouring, shading, and details! I'm particularly fond of the tail, specifically the end of it. LOVE the coloring and shading there. ^__^
It got ripped?! Woah! I'd never know, dude, it looks fine. Good job fixing it up, then. Hopefully it didn't rip anything vital to the picture or anything... That would REALLY stink. Sorry that happened to you, dude.
