Sorry it took so long for me to coment >< ...
I wanted to so many times, opened the website and stared at your drawing of Shurika.... But I was always lost for words
It is simply amazing^^ I dont even know where to start XD

i honestly can't tell you where you went wrong, if at all XD Shurika looks exactly like something that was spooking around my head for so long^^
I love the color play^^ I always found ti somekind of hard to actually virtually imagine Shurika's coloration^^ as he was a kind of black that was simply defined of beeing darker then the night It's a wonderfull way like you made the nightsky slightly blue and filled it with many tiny stars and the moon, and just placeing shurika in front of it, dark, black, no stars or light, just swallowing in a way^^ wonderfully showing what I had in my minds in words, and putting it onto paper^^
What I like especially about how you drew him is the way the lights and the riped wings give him an anchient and very old look^^ As if he's a spirit from anchiet times XD fitting him perfectly as he is actually very very old even for a dragon^^
I think it's mainly the cuts in teh wings and how the moonlight shines over his face that give him his anchient but wise and "to be respected" look^^ Great job
I had to read the paragraph in my story again to notice yet another thing you added, which is propably the one I am most happy that you added^^ The fakt that his wings seem so large and wide that they cover the night sky^^Β  You, sacreficing about half of the pictures area just for the wings show that fakt wonderfully^^ I nearly feel as if his wings are the sky XD The moonlight shining through the ripps give them a more substentual and alive look then without XD adding more to his overshadowing precense. Then, what shadow is more intimdating then one that swallos all but a little bit of light, leaving that bit only to show that he is still here, giving you a tiny ray of hope while you are already compleatly out of options <3
Love it!^^
One thing I often was sure of was that Shurika had antlers, like a stage or a deer does. But seeing his horns and the thorns on his body now, I must say, especially with the light that makes them look very pointy and sharp, this kind of horns fit him much better^^

Gosh XD I can realy feel how Windridres must have felt when Shurika stared down at her in my story
Such a wonderfull artwork^^
Thank you so much of giving me such a wonderfull artowrk for my birhtday
You're the best Flay

this is amazing! the details here are very nice,like the moonlight shining trough the shredded parts of the wings the background is wow too hah. what you can do is work smaller with the stars and copy them (zooming in is better too and makes them look more professional!)pasting them around and turning is also a great thing to do if you have a big background al, with the horns..i dont have anything else to say xD great job and keep up the work
