I always get stumped with dragon anatomy. I've seen a lot of artists place the wing joints almost right on top of the shoulder joints for the front legs and that just makes me cringe. Neither limb could function efficiently that way, right? I like how the wings are placed more or less behind the front shoulders. Makes more sense...anatomically.

Beautiful as always skysealer! I always love when something from you pops up on the watch list, it's without fail guaranteed to be awesome 
The second thing that captures my awe for your works, is the amount of energy and dedication you put into them all, along with your style. It's really quite something to see o.o

I really love how you draw the pectorals wrapping around the body, its very realistic, I can't usually imagine a dragon flying but when you draw them it all falls into place ^^ your such a great inspiration!

This is very lovely, Sky. The colors are very, very pretty and I adore the texture you've used in the BG. I especially like how you've drawn/shaded her hair.
