Description Im so happy how the coloring turned out on this -- I fixed up the sketch a little with the clone stamp but I know that there are several major flaws -- Just dont stare at it too long

Drathek is more my dominant otherkin self -- I have gone recently through several changes and even now Drathek has two mates Cloud (~Shaun-Ai ) and Valkor (~Shkrai ) Infact one of them also wrote a very good description of Drathek...

Drathek's body is covered by crimson red scales, providing a good amount of protection against most physical attacks. With a long, pointy snout bears a good amount of sharp teeth, as well as his fangs are noticeably longer than usual, poking out of his muzzle. On the topside of his long snout small spikes emit, turning backwards towards the back of his head. Pair of orange, reptilian slit optics gaze around his surroundings, showing the glimpse of intelligence inside them. Drathek wears an ebon colored mask on his head, ranging from his horns to the end of his muzzle. Covering some from his eyes it is granted with two chevrons above his eyes, painted with a light gold color. This dragon is born with long black hair, which reaches down his neck, though keeping itself away from his shoulders. Unlike most dragons his belly is protected by large chest plates, each covering some from the one below it, giving a stronger protection than a plate mail would provide, yet this does not give extra burden to the dragon. His spines are connected to small spikes, which eventually emit on his back, though only from halfway down his back, going down until the tip of his tail. The end of his tail forms a small spade. His wings are like most dragons, crimson red with transparent membranes between his wing bones.

At clothing part Drathek is not too picky. Because of the spikes on his back it would be hard for him to wear any kind of shirt, only with major difficulties, thus he leaves his chest bare. Only two clothing suits him somewhat. The first one is a loincloth which covers his crotch away, bearing black draconic symbols at the sides of it, while the cloth itself is white in color. The loincloth itself covers a small part of the hip, ranging back to his rump and dividing at his tail base into two, running down on either side of his tail. The other "clothing" is the twin shoulder plates he wears, mainly black with its borders painted into deep gold. The plate itself is rounded, ranging a bit over his shoulders; its sides are slightly sharpened. Also three spikes emit from each pauldron, in hope of further increasing the defense of the shoulder.

Very nice picture. The long fangs are interesting looking, and unique, and I love how you've drawn all the scales. Very good work on this

Awsome! How did you get the scales like that? Were they part of the sketch, or digitally added? Either way- they look great!

As I said before the coloring become incredibly realistic, it looks so cool X3
And you're welcome with the description, though I'm not entirely satisfied with it. When I'll finally get rid of the writer's block I promise that I will look at this again. ;3
