If you want to commission me for art similar to this, read this journal >>> [link] This is the 1st place prize for from the contest my group sponsored.
I had a lot of fun working on this one, especially since I was using some new photoshop brushes for it. I love them alot. I also experimented with the soft toned sky/background. I'm trying to get use to softer toned palettes.
Oh, and about the wing pose if anyone has any concerns about its functionality for this flight pose. When I was drawing it I was referencing motion stills from Eadweard Muybridge cockatoo flight stills >>> [link] I used stills 1 through 3 as inspiration. Since there are not dragons in reality, I can only make do for references by looking at animals that do exist, such as birds.

The anatomy has been drawn well. I like how the blurriness captures time, movement and the speed she is flying at. The glittery golden glows look stunning against the dark charcoal tones, and adds depth and visual appeal to the character. The details gone into this are quite spectacular, particularly the neck area, where highlights are used to accentuate the scales.
Fantastic work.

Wings of the dragon can not bend so much when dropped. It breaks their function. They have to keep the wind, and do not give him a prisoner. Otherwise, the dragon will fall and die.

Since their isn't a physical real dragon in reality to accurately know that, this is my interpretation and I've drawn it to the immediate reference that I do have, birds.

Use photos of bats. Wing membrane in the air behaves differently than the wing with feathers.

>>> at 10 seconds, 17 seconds, and 26 seconds in the video you can see something similar to what I drew on an actual bat.
Look. I don't want to refute functionality over my own image, I drew it the way i did because it is my image. It is my interpretation, rather you think it is accurate or not is not my concern. I did my research so it is accurate to the best of my own knowledge. So please, though I accepts critique and criticism, please leave me alone on this matter.

I love how you captured the wing motion in your drawing. Most can't make a dragon look like its actually flying. The wing angle is uncommon and very well done.

Thank you. I've been trying to draw poses different to a typical pose ( if that makes sense) because every time I've drawn a pose for dragons before, I felt like I had seen that pose at least a dozen times before.

Blur looks a little heavy for hovering/a little vertical for forward moving, but now that my obligatory objective criticism for anything that goes in my favorites is out of the way (

Its not hovering in place but merely building up momentum to fly up. That was what the original character owner requested so I added the motion blur to represent speed. But thank you about the anatomy, I've been trying to push myself and this is one of the pieces from that.
