You have an amazing sense of anatomy. ^^; I envy.
May i ask how you do the shading? Like, with the fur bits. It looks excellent and i've been trying to figure it out forever and a day.

I actually learned from others but I use layers and PSP. The fur is done with airbrush set to 2 for size and around 50 for opacity. You draw the fur on and smudge it. I'll try to get a tutorial started. The fur is set to overlay like the shading.

You can probably do it in Photoshop if you use that program. The pricipals are the same but I've always used PSP - ever since I started doing this stuff in 1999-2000.

Hee hee, reminds me of your dragons XD Probably because I see them in that pose too a lot :3

*facepalm* yeah...I know...I drew this in backdrive and I have little time to argue with a new pose that I'm unferminlar with...

I actually started drawing them with the head facing the viewer slightly but the ears gave me trouble because they're so big so I went with something I could get down in between cars...They were sitting before so it's a bit of a change. heh

There! Finished all my little pet images for the Aeire, Cear and Cove (plus the Aifres, of course!). Finally decided on what the Cove should 'give out' and I drew the wingless little sea dragons and liked them so they'll stay. Was going to call them sea snakes but they're not really snaky enough to be called that so they're lizards...

I'll put them up when I get most/all of the LSI figured out...

;-; all of your little creatures are bloody adorable. I especially like the sea lizards. Nice, effective design. ^^

Thanks. I consider them a practice round on miniture scale for the larger sea dragons that are simular...
