Yes, a Critique, and also, hello from a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/p… " alt=" " title="ProjectComment" /> , as this has been sitting in my queue for some time, so lets get to it...
Starting from the head, and trying to work backwards, then reversing and moving forward from the tail, we can see his body is swimming through the clouds counter-clockwise, yet, the spines are as if he is going clockwise, based on the two coils we see, but...
The nearer coil just `ends` behind his head, and this cannot be supported by the evidence presented. His jaw is open, and just to the right one can see how the underside curve of that coil is starting to bend down? Where's the rest of it??
The clouds themselves makes for a fine seascape, and the "Jacob's Ladders" are quite fetching shooting out from the sun. The far sky above the tail and rear coil needs to be reconsidered for its coloring, and effects. Is your sun 'rising', or 'setting'? Believe me, it Does make a difference for the rest of the sky.
His head, and the overall color scheme of turquoise and aquamarine blends of greens and blues is solid.
And now, I also need to add about the general angle of view, as it, too, is simply acceptable... except for that missing arc of coil, and, perhaps, a middle coil (not even fully elevated, even) that could be just off his nose and teeth.
Very nice concept, but could be executed better. Thank you.

I think this is a wonderful design. The dragon looks feared and respected. His sharp teeth make him look like a foe wouldn't attack him twice. He has wonderful eyes the are expressive. He looks brave and strong. This is a wonderful piece this is a good dragon this looks like a wonderful beast. I would like to ride him. This fellow looks like the stuff of legend. He is strong, powerful, ferocious, tough, and willing to help his allies with teeth and claw. He could be king of all dragons and be the best ever. This is a great piece.

I have been waiting for an opportunity to critique a work on the majestic mythical creature that is the ryong. I haven't much idea on where to start, but if I had to, it would be on the background's rather limited sense of layering or gradient of much. Although you did nicely on the dragon's bodily texture and mane, it feels as though the sky looks somewhat too ripply. The clouds look very much like the painting in our chosonhwa and give off the feeling that it's swimming through them like a sea dragon, but the sun rays are overemphasized and underrepresented on said clouds. I think the dragon you seem to call Igneus could have his horns shown to give off more regality, and the scales are unclear and seem more like fur instead. I personally haven't thought of a furry (main body) dragon before, at least not of our kind or those of our neighbors. As for Igneus's color problems, the cinnabar at his neck looks a little shiny and metallic, even to the point where his main body takes on this feel. His head's top and snout feels somewhat forced in the neon coloring even next to his eyes, with abrupt coloring at the bottoms of his eyes. His nostril also feels brushed over in a way like nose hairs. Beyond these, I can't help but praise the idea of a cloud dragon and show the work quite well done. Give the horns and continue on next time for this majestic ryong. Komawa.

I personally think that this piece is great! There's not much for me to critique here, but i'll try my best! I really like the over all colors that you used but if feel like there could be more to the coloring than just the nice color palette. I feel like you could bring out texture alot kore than it already appears to be there, don't be afraid to add more detail pr shading to make it look more realistic. I don't know if this was stylistic or not but i'm not the biggest fan about how much of a sketch it looks. the lines look they were done with colored pencil. this is just a thing you can do to emphasize your colors. I think that you should use a more saturated color. i feel like the colors on the head of this creature could be alot more bright rather than just drawn on. what i mean by this is, make the colors more vibrant or noticeable, make it look like the green and red parts on the head are glowing. Make the colors more "in your face" again, this critique is more of my preferences rather than critique.

A multi-colored serpent Dragon creature? Yeah, I think I like him just fine

i like it, it is just---well, he seems not to be included into the light-atmosphere completely

Whoa, he's so cool! I love the texture, it looks so smooth and feathery. And the colors! The red with the teal works so well together! And I like the touch of him going through the clouds, and the ray of sunlight is nicely done. Light enough to be noticeable but faded enough to not disrupt the eye.

I like the composition of this piece it definitely has depth. The head seems a bit flat kind of like one of those very stylized pieces that were poplar for a short time painted on wood. Not sure if that was your intention or not. A bit more shading and texture on the top of the head would help. The colors of this piece I think are excellent.
