Wah, awesome :D
'cept... I never knew they'd be green. Why didn't you tell me? I always pictured them to be red or gold-ish. Regal-like, y'know? You never tell me anything, do you? :cry:

PS. I had doubts about those eyes when you told me they'd be black with red pupils, but they look more awesome and less creepy (though still scary) than I thought they would.

The coloring and shading you did on this piece are very nice, but I think that the dragon would've come out better if you'd change the background color to a lighter one. Maybe DA-Grey/Greenish or red? Perhaps orange?

I'd like to give you some more pointers about anatomy as well, but I don't have a clue how to put it. I'd say the front wing looks a tad stiff and the horns on the head look somewhat awkward, but I couldn't draw them better than you do even if I tried D:

aw, you're too hard on yourself <:( you're right about everything you noted, and I agree with everything, except the background-color. Maybe it would look better if the blue is a bit lighter, but grey, greenish and orange don't fit. Then the dragon sort of dissapears in the background, especially with orange, because the wings have that color as well... I tried it already.

but besides that, you're right, though I'm not going to change it. I'm happy with it as it is, and if I touch it once more, I'll screw it up...
like I always do. <O.O>
