That is an amazing design, complemented with your overall drawing skill itself. I mean, there's so much overrated dragon art out there but this piece is just so inspirational. They greatly remind me of celtic designs come alive.
If I may critique, I can't really tell where the light source is supposed to be; I'd assume from the right but the highlight on the dark dragon's eye suggests otherwise. Also the very heavy shading on the left, along with the huge dark border is somewhat distracting from the right side. The light dragon seems slightly larger, which helps it a bit. I'm thinking making the dark dragon just a shade lighter (so you can see that fantastic lineart more clearly), making the background gradient more towards the middle (so the light dragon stands out more) and taking away the large grey border might help.
But that's just the coloring job, a bit more tweaking with that would help it take less away from the design itself. I mean, I don't think any of my own dragons look that original; seeing this piece just made me go "wow, I really need to expand my imagination, lol."

[dance!] Thanks so much for your input. I have been watching you for like... evaaahh. ...I mean... [stashes telescope under the bed and steps away from the window]

I can see exactly what you mean with everything, especially the lighting and the light colors of the light dragon blending in more with its background... I have to admit, though, when I made these, I wasn't intending at all to put them together. o_O I did them separately in some random spurt of mad doodling and uploaded the graphite pieces, they're floating around somewhere in my gallery. I just got the bright idea to color them and upload them together afterward. Thbbt, you people and actually spending tiiiime planning out aaaall the details in your magniiiificent works of art. Bah!

...Though I probably will go in at some point and re-do the whole thing now. XD

Oh, and by the way, uhm, your dragons, uhm... all that comes to mind is .

Times, like, a billion.

Yeah I know how that goes: Plan? Lol, I sure don't half of the time. Thusly I end up tweaking things a lot in the end and sometimes drive myself crazy.

And thank you! I've been watching you for a while myself. I love your character designs

Very stylistic - I love it!

Nice job on the scales - you show a little, yet there seems like a lot.

It's interesting to see both of these characters head to head. They're just so strange and out of the box...it's unusual to come across cool designs like these. Keep it up!

Woot! To tell you the truth, I thought I kinda half-assed the picture. o_O I mean, the graphite work was fun, but it's all flat color underneath. XD
