My first critique, yay!
Anyway, this is a quite interesting drawing. I would like to start from the background, simply, I love it! It's great that you put the star effect for the dragon's wings aswell, and makes this piece look so much better.
The dragon body looks like you could make it a little better, since especially the tail has some mistakes. The pose is great, but the tip of the tail is thicker than the part little before it.. It's little disturbing.
Also, the edges are sometimes blurry and sometimes sharp, that is ok but the sharp edges also seem to be.. eh you know, they look a bit unfinished. They could use a little smudge or something.
The dragon's "hair" thing is a really cool addition!
I just love to stare at this because of the colors e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
So basically, it's an amazing artwork, with some small flaws, and even though this work is kinda old now, you did a great job!

I greatly enjoy this peice, not only because I am a great fan of the artists' visionary talents and enjoy space peices, but also because it is beautiful to the senses and is quite the eye catcher.
The effects in this peice are not only numerous, but well-placed for the maximum effectiveness. The effect of the dragon appearing to disappear into the emptiness of space give great insight to its power. Including stars on its wings and body also add to this feeling. And quite the contrast of its colors!; The bright gold eyes peering out of darkness and cool colors gives a great effect.
The background is simply amazing, giving nice movement throught out the peice that gives contrasting movement to the dragon. The only thing I find wrong here is the acute absence within the dark areas away from the starfield. Throught out space there is stars, not usually lacking in one area.
My last grievance is the neatness of the dragon's body... It appears uneven, and unfortunately I see that quite often in this artist's work. X3; It might just be my OCD kicking in, but if it is the effect you are going for, ignore me.
Overall, amazing peice and one I will continue to enjoy X3

Looks like your idea was well liked, there's a dragon on dragoncave.net that looks very similar, but DA won't let me post the link.

This is really really good beb. I love the background and the dragon. It looks really really good but the tail and wings look a tad bit on the strange side. Other than that, I like it alot.

Nicely done! This dragon has found it's treasure -- Earth. I too like the way his hind quarters disappear in the distance.

It looked even better in my mind but I have an issue with shaky hands and couldn't get the detail quite how I wanted to.

Aye we all suffer from the affliction of the shakey hands.

OMFG!! This is beautiful D8 the tail starts out thick and thin and then thin and ends with going thin... making it looks slightly strange.. but other than that.. this is awesome!

Yeah it does look weird, sadly I have an issue with really shaky hands and on bad days stuff like that gets really out of whack. Glad you like it
