Description Had a nasty basement flood over the past week or so (Lost track when what happened exactly due to lack of sleep heheh).
We had construction workers around to try and waterproof/resist the basement. They finished the job today. Since I couldn't really do anything useful while they were working I picked up a mechanical pencil and notepad and doodled to keep me occupied. This is the result. Might clean it up later and remove the lines if I cba.

[EDIT]
Cleaned out the notepad lines.
[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]
Changed the harsh shading above the rear leg to hopefully make the body seem less thin back there. (Thanks again for pointing it out ~Promille )

The rear leg seeming to be attached so close to the tail also seemed a bit off to me so I changed that a bit as well.

Very cool...

I love the armor, and the head is really well made.

I think the back part is a bit off though, perspective wise.

Thank you!
Could you point out which part specifically seems off?
I don't have the actual sketch anymore but it's nice to know anyway for future reference.

Hmm, the back part seem very narrow, yet the space between the rear-legs is very wide...

I think that's it

Ahh ok I think I see what you mean.
I wonder if the shading above the leg is part of what makes that seem off.
Might have to mess around with it in Photoshop a bit later to try some things.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Yeah i actually think that's part of what makes the "hips" seem narrow.

Your welcome

Cooooool. A non-flyer? What are those called again? Drakes? Or are drakes the winged ones?

Never was able to keep the different types apart.

Yeah, the distinctions are kind of esoteric, and now completely fudged to Hell by Tolkien/D&D and all the derivatives.
