Description I hereby welcome a new mythical creature to my gallery!

I felt the need to get some frustration out of the way and wanted to draw something quick. mess around a little.
Since I didn't have a single dragon in my gallery (even though I love them), my friend Eos suggested I'd draw a dragon.
The last time I drew a dragon was about 4 years ago... and it wasn't too pretty... So this one could very well be counted as my first real attempt on dragons ^^
My knowledge of dragon is near zero so I'm more than happy with the way this dragon turned out!
Took me a little over 4 hours to draw this drakie

It has no wings, is strong and swift, has nasty claws and a nice hammer like tail to beat up whichever comes in his way. I imagined him climbing rocky surfaces.

EDIT: I just realized I did actually have dragons in my gallery xD and it was a drawing made 2 years ago, oops!
Seems it didn't make much impact on me (or my friend) then, as he didn't see it and I completely forgot hahaha xD at least this one looks more like a dragon..

Thank you! I was just messing around with a brush I never use on a subject I've never drawn x) Wasn't really aiming for anything

The body looks like the one from the Komodo dragon (a real world reptile) but the details, like the spikes, are from fictional dragons.
Nice combo!

The visual library I call it, a library of pictures imprinted in my memory a library to tap from when creating fictional creatures and other things, to keep it looking realistic.

yay! thanks ^^ didn't really use a reference for this, and I guess I unintentionally tapped information and references from the salamanders and other reptiles I've seen in my life, which is probably why it looked more salamander like than a static dragon (which would also have wings).... xD
