Description
Flame unbridled,the ecstasy of might in plain view, yet for only the worthy to see.
Surging from within the onyx, the obsidian, the scales and the coals
and his pleasured smirk,
waves of heat arousing his senses
and burning everything to ashes around.
Bust of my dragon Auronildath (Fulgur). In flames, because he can do that.
(The quality seems reduced in the non-maxed image for some strange reason.)

Hah, definitely wouldn’t want to meet this fierce-looking boi in a dark alley (or cave) somewhere. He looks like you don’t want to cross him or get on his bad side!
You did a relaly nice job on the overall profile for him – his jawline looks tough, and those horns really balance out the weight and shape of the head design. The glowing eyes, mouth and scale edges are awesome too. The little tufts of heat coming off the nostrils? Perfection.
If I had to offer critique (and I see you’ve requested some), I’d say the one thing hat isn’t completely working for me in the design are the scales coming off the sharp spikes on the back. The scales appear to be like the sort you’d see on snakes or fish, but they’re wrapping around the back of the neck. My brain is still stuck on how scales work on real animals (they would be going down the neck away from the head, rather than wrapping around the neck from the spine line). This is a fantasy creature, obviously, so it can breathe fire and have any sort of scales it wants. But it did distract me as a design element.
Again, really cool design. Good luck drawing in the new year!

My apologies for the late reply, but I wanted to thank you for your compliments and critique and all the time it must've taken for you to write them! I appreciate it very much, and it's only made better to hear that it's done with the intention of spreading the holiday cheer, as you say. Good to know many others had the same niceties happen to them. I wish you and your team the best. I will take your critique and keep it in mind for next time.

Thank you very much! The plasticity's a result of aiming to keep the black features visible enough, gray-ish.

An excellent work you have here!
You've done well with the details, the sense of warmth, and the overall design.
He certainly is an imposing creature, no doubt. I do get a sense of power and confidence from his looks.
