Description
I started this pic with the goal of this being my best pic ever. It will have the most details, it will take weeks to finish (if not months), and I really wanna make an excellent pic in Photoshop with this.Oh, and MasterOfRa, this is the one I was talking about.
P.S. According to some site, dragon is not spelled "Ryu" but "Ryuu", so I renamed the dragon.

Small thing: 'Ryuu' should be spelled with 2 'u's.
There is indeed a lot of detail in this, but I wonder if you couldn't make the pose a bit more...striking, perhaps? It looks like you were aiming for that, but it also feels like you didn't quite succeed based on the angle of the neck and head (strikes usually look more focused, to say the least) and the way that the paw, almost like a cat's in its position, is just...tentatively prepared to lash out. The two positions together seem mismatched.
On the plus side, I love the wings and all the little tiny details,such as the scales and spikes. 3-clawed wings FTW!

There are 3 variants of a correct spelling of Ryu, as far as I heard. One is Ryuu, the other one is Ryu(with a "-" above "u") and, to make it easier, the "-" can be omitted from "u", as in Ryu. That's what I heard at least... not sure if it's correct. Still, there are 2 Ryus (characters named Ryu) without a dash, or a second "u" - Breath of Fire and Street Fighter - to back this theory up.
And oh, don't forget I'm a noob when it comes to drawing dragons 
And thanks a lot for your comment, it's a huuuuuge help!!!

Can be spelt Ryuu or Ryu with a - over the u. The - over the u is the second u as all it means is a longer sound. Of course tbh, you're all wrong!
It's actually spelt: γγ
γ
And Densetsu Shiroi Ryu: γ§γγγ€γγγγγγγ
γ
So basically, if you're typing Japanese into the computer, type Ryuu, otherwise stick with Ryu or I'll strangle you for making me change all the Ryus in my novel so far.

You said this:
Densetsu Shiroi Ryu: γ§γγγ€γγγγγγγ
γ
Is this kanji or hiragana? If it's katakana, well... something looks wrong.

Hiragana. As Densetsu Shiroi Ryu isn't meant to be English or a borrowed from another language right? Like Computerγ-γγ³γ³γγΌγΏγΌ. So since it isn't English, it's in Hiragana.

FInally I know why are they 3 types of Japanese script, thanks to you!

Lol don't worry, the old Ryu stays Ryu. He'll (maybe) be called Ryuu in "The End" but Ryu is still Ryu.

Huh. And let's not forget that 4Kids does it all the time...
It really doesn't look that way to me, though.
More likely than not, the translators were unable/unwilling to put in the long mark. I Wiki'd Street Fighter's Ryu, and his name (in Japanese) does indeed have a long 'u':[link] ). I dunno about the Breath of Fire one, but it seems to be quite a common Romanization error. 'Ryu' and 'ryuu' have very different meanings, at the very least according to the handy online kanji site up there.
Actually, I didn't know you were a newbie; your other dragons look just fine to me. Dragon flying out of the picture, eh? I'll see what I can dig up. There are probably some good ones right here on DA!
Hah, you're welcome!

Gawd! Thanks for the info! I guess I was wrong X_X

If you were, a whole lotta other people are, too. I think it's just one of those errs that slipped into common use.

Hey, wait a sec. Why is "Spirit Ryu", "Ryu Senshi" etc. spelt with "Ryu"?
π: 0 β©: 1
I mentioned 4Kids. I have no idea, but I don't entirely trust the competence of 4Kids' translators. Remember "Buster Rancher?"

Ah, yeah. Btw you know what's funny? There's a singer with the nickname Ryu. No second u, no -. He's from the group Fort Minor. (sigh) Probably "Ryu" is a wrong spelling for "dragon" but I'll stick to it for now. I like it. And also, when English words, or names, are used in English, they would look odd if double letters, or dashes, would be used. Imagine "Yu-sei Fudo-" or "Yuusei Fudou" being written all over the internet in English sentences. "Yusei Fudo" seems the most acceptable to me.
And Buster Rancher? Is that the old-skool equip card for monsters of 1000 or less?

There are ways to do it with accents, but they strike me as being kinda hard to use unless your comp's well-arranged for it.
Maybe I'm just nitpicky because English, unlike Latin and Japanese, doesn't place as much distinction on long vowels (there's the "ryuu" example above, but in Latin, a long vowel can change the function of a 1st or 4th declension noun in a sentence).
Yeah. It was, quite obviously, supposed to be "Buster Launcher."
π: 0 β©: 1
Well yes, the name Yusei was not altered. But Aki was X_X Aki Izayoi soudns much better than Akiza Izinski.
Ah, it's ok.
And yeah, I thought it was odd... but I didn't know it was supposed to be "launcher".
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I heard about that one, too.
What would it be? There's another one..."Fusioh Richie?" Totally a bad Romanization. Utterly and entirely. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Omfg... They turned Lich into Richie?! Gaaaawd! I really hate them for these mistakes... It's like they didn't even try to find out what is the true meaning of the Japanese names.
π: 0 β©: 1
[link] And then thousands of otaku named 'Richie' simultaneously tried to raise the dead.
Also, my bad; I thought they even spelled "Fushioh" wrong.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, they do use "Oh" for "O-" (king), like Rai-Oh, Fushioh (not sure about this one) etc, and I kinda don't like the "Oh" transcription, because it sounds like "Oh, what a day".
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL. This is true. "Ou" sounds better, but at least they aren't using "ow," which I've also seen.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's funny how sad it is... Personally, I'd use "O-" (O with dash) for "king" if it has to be romanized. But for some reason there are no dashes or the prolonging "u"s in the card names.
π: 0 β©: 1
Prolonging "u" wouldn't be bad at all. But eh...It's the same "oh" as in "Yu-Gi-Oh!," so what would you expect?
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. It's sad that I'm being made fun of because I like an anime which is pronounced You Ghee Oh! (accent on each part) Damn you 4kids! In Japanese, it's pronounced like one word, and here... it's stupid.

They're the ones who added the hyphens.

Wow! That is a lot of detail. I'm not sure I can do that.
But it looks incredible.

Za sada izgleda fantastiΔno, jedva Δekam da bude gotovo

Hvala puno ^^ I potrudicu se najvise sto mogu da ucinim ovu sliku sto boljom moguce. Treba mi "inking" za ovu sliku, bez "scales" (ljuske, valjda) kako bi se mogla fino uraditi u Photoshopu. Mada mozda i ne bude trebalo, takodje planiram da crtam odmah preko ovog linearta, dakle da se lineart ne vidi na finalnom rezultatu.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nema na Δemu
Super je bez linearta, ali je to ponekad teΕ‘ko napraviti jer ispadne Δudno =/ ali za sada ima dosta detalja, a i ljuske Δe imati sjena tako da mislim da Δe to biti dobro

Hvala puno, nadajmo se da ce ispasti kako treba ^^ Ali necu zuriti.
