As wide as this animal's wingspan is I would suspect that it would live in mountainous terrain and feed on anything that it can see on the ground beneath it. This is in comparison to the Andean Condor, which inhabits South American mountains and will glide for more than 100 miles daily in search of carrion. It is one the heaviest land-based flying animals in the world. Take note that when hunting from the skies a bright or reflective underbelly would make the animal very difficult to see.

Thanks. I didn't know that about the underbelly. I'll keep that in mind when I think about my dragons.Â

Man, I gotta say I have always loved how you texture/render the wing membrane. Very 'legit' looking.

Nice! I like to see the folding wing fingers too, mine fold as well but I've always been too poor to commission you (and so undecided on certain other details anyways) so it's like I got a teeny little visual freebie today... go me!

I was actually thinking of you when I did it. I've been looking for an excuse to draw folded wing fingers.

Lovely work!
THe details are - as always- stunning! n .n

As always, your reference sheets just make me drool. The simplicity of the sheet itself, the amazing detail in the character. The way you drew the wings and the way the wing flap covers the elbow really makes the membrane look strong but elastic, it totally makes sense.
Awesome job, Rah-Bop :3.

I love this piece. The wings alone on the top view show your mastery at wings and the texture is fantastic! Wish I could do work this nice.

I think.. the one thing that strikes to be ABSOLUTELY AWESOME is ironically a very small detail: the way the membrane folds over the elbow, gosh why did no one else see this 'til now? Brava! It makes total anatomical sense.
Very beautiful ref as always, love your anatomies. C:

One of these days I am certainly going to commission a dragon ref from you. These are just too stunning.

Wonderful job! the look of the scales is amazing, looks like to took a lot of patience to do.

Lovely work rendering the folds and texture of the wing membrane - it looks fitting to the proportion of the animal. Did you draw in every line originally? What a heck of a lot of detail, but it doesn't overwhelm or swamp - you can still make out what you need to. I will leave the rest of the critique out since this is a completed drawing - again, beautiful rendering, and for some reason the fact that the ventral scales stand out from each other really seems like they are meant to be that way, very 'scientific' in its execution. I guess by 'scientific' I mean 'specific', as in detail and attention to the different regions and any changes that may be evident due to their placement - the neck strikes the most attention from me.
I really like this - keep up the good work!

I'm not really sure what you mean by "did you draw in every line originally." I don't really know how to answer. D:
Oh gosh, Leccathu, PLEEEASE critique it if you see anything amiss or if you have any suggestions you think I could benefit from. It doesn't matter that this one is done; I am always working on more stuff, so any advice will be very helpful for future pictures, I'm certain!
ILU LECCATHUUUUU

Sorry about the bad word choices.
One thing that I thought while looking at this was the depth of the torso/chest - it seems almost disproportionate to the rest of the body structure. But, now that I think of it, it is reminiscent of a bird's chest cavity and back, made to withstand the stresses placed on it by the muscles attached to the ribcage, keel, and back. Due to the keel, birds' bodies look very deep as well. That may have been what you were thinking of while constructing this, and I also don't know if the original concept/reference depicted the dragon as very deep-chested as well. I can't really say what would make it look better (I'm still having problems with figuring out anatomy and proportion myself), so... this critique was pretty much a bust. XD
As well, you have beautiful rendering abilities and execution of anatomy, though the head in the main image seems a little out of place, almost. I think it's only because it is a more simple design and it looks as though the light is hitting the side of the face facing us, making it lighter than the rest of the overall body.
Apart from that, I can't see anything to comment on constructively. 
As well, on the note that you are very experimental with your coloring techniques, I am very much the same way. I have no real pattern myself. 
Again, I am always happy to see new work from you - brava! ^^ And I love you too, Rah-Bop. We never seem to communicate a lot, or get much of a chance to, but it's always awesome when we do.

Very nice! I love the way you painted the wing membranes on the main dragon image- how it folds over the "elbow".

Love that shade of blue.
Though that statement is in no way biased what so ever. Nope, nu-uh... >.=.>
BLUE PRIDE!!
