Description

Whew, got this one done quite fast considering I did a commission while I made this. I really like this one, I feel some improvement over my previous works, especially in the shading, I think I did a good job at shading here, maybe?
The clouds were something fun to do, and I am surprised how well the vision I had of this one transferred onto the paper. Not too bad for a novice, eh? Though I have indeed received a lot of help from other people on this site, you people are probably the most helpful people I have ran into in the internet.
This began as my first drawing featuring two different creatures (the commission for amuth89 was the first I completed though.) and it was quite refreshing to do something so different from my other works. Also something different here is the fact that I didn't pose either of them and tried to capture movement onto the paper, I think they both convey a fair sense of motion.
One thing I am a bit dissatisfied here is the fact how close they both are to each other. This made it very difficult to add fire breath to both of them, and now it looks like only the left one is breathing fire, but I think it still looks nice and brings a bit more diversity between them.
My scanner made the eye of the dragon on the right almost disappear completely and that was a small detail I was rather proud of :/.

Anyways, thanks for viewing/reading this, critique is always welcome and I won't be offended even if you completely destroy this drawing with critique, it's just going to help me get better :D

I love the background sketch and the diagonal motion lines atop the cloud-like surface; really gives an impression of movement. The dragons are good also :)
