Description
Wow....never thought id actually go throug with it. So this is my first ref sheet ever of a charicter thats been developing in my head for yaers and only recently gained status.this was actually a lot of fun to do, fannin being the simplest dragon to draw out of the arsenal of dragons and other critters flying around in my brain.
eh...the backstory for him and danny is in progress seeing as how im still tinkering with how he looks. drawing ppl from scratch is a bitch. most of the other stuff on here i made up as i worked, trying to stay as far away from magic as possible, but be logical when it comes to dragons in modern times (as logical as that can get
[hate logic]). lots of typing and deleting and typing and deleting. let me know what you think if u actually read it.might change things later but as of right now without a working wacom all digital images have to come to a halt unless it can be colored with a mouse.
that doesnt mean no more traditional art.
free lineart to whoever can guess where i got his name from.
[link] here is the story!!!
so much text...
Edit: gah almost forgot

I think it looks amazing. I love your art style and use of shading on an all black character. Teeth and wing details were good too. It actually reminds me of Vathek from Skylanders! XD Removing the aqua coloring of course

I'll write it here since i can't officially write a critique, like you asked.
Looks like he came straight out of "The Darkness"honestly, first thing that came to mind , which is by no means a bad thing because he looks a million times better than anything from it. You really have succeeded in making him look old, and i would genuinely believe he was 1000's of years old.
On the glowing eyes, perhaps he is nocturnal? It would make sense given the darker side of him. Also if he lives in modern times is his skin bullet resistant? I mean nowadays a .50 cal would do ALOT of damage.
I'm liking the inter dimensional bits, many cross over opportunities that would make perfectly logical sense if you don't try and explain how he does it
It will be good to know the backstory to them, one doesn't just hate humanity and then decide on a whim to like one particular person 
In fairness it would be better to class him as a Wyvern rather than dragon mainly because of the lack of forelegs, and since it IS acid rather than fire that he spits.
And because i'm no artist myself, i'm not going to bother on the way you made it, your technique and whatnot, because i don't have a clue on how i would even start. All i know is that he looks fantastic

I have to disagree on the nocturnal part. Science has proven that if your eyes would glow you'd blind yourself as the light from the eyes would reflect at the cornia and then hit the light receptors at the back of the eye. Then it would continue to do so all the time, even when you've closed your eyelids you'd be blind. Constant team flash!
So no animal, on Earth at least, can have glowing eyes.
Unless they glow because of an outer source, such as a flash light.

aww thanks for the critique! honestly i made him after the fell beasts in LOTR when that came out, and honestly bullets didnt even cross my mind (duh...

Well [link] is a 50.cal bullet. Bigger than a lipstic tube, capable of decapitating someone from 5km away.
Perhaps he only comes out at night (as i said, nocturnal) so he wouldn't get hit by snipers....but then again the chances of coming across a .50 sniper is rather low...
Or you could just say he has super strong skin and do away with all that

ya i guess a 50.cal would do some damage. damit now i've gotta spend all day thinking this through, i'll post a awnser when i come up with it.

During English today i had an awesome idea (well to me at least) for a backstory. I'll do a draft soon, show it to you, and then you can decide whether or not to write your own....or something.... O_o
If thats alright by you of course

ya i already have kind of a backstory for danny, but the way i was gonna write it was like 1st prson point of veiw from both sides so i'll take a look at it.

Ah ok then....still might write it just for fun anyway. I was thinking about setting the meeting point somewhere in Russia....i dunno, he just looks a kind of secluding creature, and since Siberia....is, well, practically void of human life.

well i havnt decided on wehre fannin came from so his story can start there but the rest needs to be in an isolated area in the middle U.S. for it to make any sense
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah ok. Still, i may do it to get some creative writing under my belt. Yr 12 and all that jazz.

Oh and i believe the Greeks went out the door in 500-700 AD or so wikipedia would have me believe, so that would make around Fannin 1,200 years old at least
