Description
Mostly just a practice piece spurred by the current DMAP event over at poke-fan club. Didn't really turn out as I would have liked but I think its still decent enough to post.Related content

Beautiful. Something bright and sweet, with a joyous smile on its face. You really do add personality.
...I need to add myself a life... and get round do doing what I'm meant to... sigh. But if I could, I'd view these pictures over and over.

Awesome job!

How on earth could you knock this, your own work. If this is what you are capable of on a bad day, then god almighty I fear your powers with a brush on a good day. this is the BEST Dragonite I have EVER seen. Hands down. no holds barred. THIS is what Dragonite SHOULD have looked like.

Thanks! I can't remember actually lol.
Generally though, when I enter the DMAP event I contact a mod and tell them that in the case the judge picks me for first to hand the win to another contestant.

I love this art. It's lovely.
However, a thousand and one people mistake the chests animals or pokemon based of lizards and birds to be like human chest. The muscles do not develop that way though. Check out their anatomy (just google search) and see. I have a parrot and study animals and biomechanics, by the way. So I'm not trying to talk from my butt, it's just important to me.
Since parrots may pluck themselves in captivity, if you google search naked parrot, you can get a very good idea of attachment. They are not attached to the shoulders though. Birds wings attach inside with muscle to the keel bone.
Sorry to rant,
Just thought you should know,

Thank you, I do agree that the anatomy is too human like (and overall not great- this image is also over a year old), though that was partially intentional since dragonite is somewhat humanoid in form, though it was overdone here.
I am aware of the the actual anatomy of birds/lizards what not (i've actually studied it somewhat at a university level for biology classes and have done my own independent study), most of the issue comes from trying to apply it to a fantasy creature in novel situations/pose/angle and trying to combine multiple different species with weird anatomy (such as dual front limbs). This attempt not being perfectly successful.

Wow. Someone finally succeeded in making a realistic Dragonite!I've never seen that before! (she says somewhat sarcastically) It's still way awesome though.

I've always thought dragonite's original design is a little silly but you've made it look so much more awesome.

Very realistic... I like it very muchly.
As if it didn't turn out as well as you would've liked! It's freaking amazing and if I could draw like this I swear I would... I don't know. I'd draw 24/7!

Ooh! Now that is cool! I especially love the lighting and how it dances off the scales.

Awesome! He came out really really great! I love the way you drew him. You really made him look very realistic. You did a really awesone job drawing him! You made him look like a real dragon. You even captured his happiness

SO AWESOME!!
all the colors are fantastic, and i love how much the orange and blue complement each other

Those wings. I love how you drew those wings!
Also his face. Most people try to go really "stereotypical dragon" when they draw a realistic Dragonite, but you kept that cute/sweet quality that Dragonite's design has. Love the detail on the scales on his underside.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
everything you do is decent enough to post silly
also the lighting in this is really spot on, and i like how you connected his wings straight to his pecs, it looks really natural~~

ALL THE DRAGONS.
very nice rendition of the beast! less sinister and evil looking than mine, which is probably a good thing haha!

I like your version, especially how you've got the fins going for the whole water aspect, and it fits with your End Run style. I just sort of didn't really do anything to the design hah.

and thank you! it means alot knowing that you like my interps!
