Description
An anthro dragon nearly get crushed by a giant dragon paw which suddenly crashed down as he is going out of a cave.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a practice piece for a more dynamic pose. Took me around 4 hours+ due to change in idea after completed the shading OTL.
I feel that I always have difficulties in choosing a suitable shade of red colour for body colour

Any comments and suggestions are most welcomed!

I like the way the main body looks. You did a fantastic job!
I did create a blue line draw over. I think you could work on showing more of the muscle detail going beyond the general contour on the legs.
It is impressive how quickly you made this. Look forward to seeing more!

Thank you so much for the compliments!! It isn't often people says I draw fast XD.
and thanks a lot too for the blue line draw over illustrating your suggestions! It looks great and I can totally get your point through looking at it
Thanks again for spending your time and effort for it! It helps a lot ^^

No problem! It is a good way for me to learn also. By the way, I was not watching you before, now that is fixed.
I don't really upload new art to DA any more, which is a shame. All of my current art goes to places like Fur Affinity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks again, for the watch ^^
Is your FurAffinity username same as your DA username? I would like to see your new arts if it is okay for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah well, no, it is not the same.
It depends on how you feel about looking at porn, since that is now mainly what I've been drawing and why it can't be shown on DA.
Also, I don't draw females or humans, so yeah, maybe more than a bit awkward.
I like to just shrug it off though. It is good practice for character design and anatomy, and it is entertaining to see how many are interested.
If you want to see, I go by the name superagro on fa.

I have went and see your arts on FA and they are great! You're really good in the anatomy, expressing the actions and backgrounds too, together with your ideas/imaginations.
Actually I am just fine with looking at porn. For me, it can be a kind of art as well. Besides this, I am actually more comfortable with looking at males one, and humans or not doesn't really matters for me. So I think there is no need to feel awkward XP .
I totally agree with your that it is really a good practice for anatomy and character design. After all, drawing clothed characters would requires underlying good anatomy too in my opinion. I have also tried drawing a few similar kind of artworks as well on FA, but they are nowhere near as good as yours.
Thanks for sharing your FA with me, looking forward to see more of your arts on FA soon! ^^

Cool, thats good to hear. Not everyone feels the same about the porn thing though.
Well, you know what they say, Practice makes perfect. I don't really agree with the statement though. Practice only makes better as perfect is a flawed concept when it comes to almost anything anyway.
Happy to see that you like my new stuff as well. He he, I see that you also have some porns too. Just curious, but what makes the male one more comfortable to you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you, practice can only makes better but never perfect, since perfect is not the same for everyone. So one thing can seem to be perfect for one but not for the other.
I can't help myself to draw a bit of porns from time to time XD, although they can't be posted on websites like DA. It isn't as easy as I thought when I tried drawing them for the first time though haha. Requires some extra imaginations XP. To be true I don't really like looking at naked body of females and I guess it has to do with sexual orientation =x . I think the general aspect of majority of my arts has hinted towards this too haha. I do appreciate the beauties of females though, just not in terms of porns.
Hope this doesn't sound offending to you, but do you mainly draw male porns for about the same reason too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are still lots of places that porn can be posted, and I've been using the ones I know about.
Yeah, I guess that is orientation that is the main reason for me too. The male body just appeals to me more. I never really liked looking at porn with females, even though I can appreciate their beauty, it is just not as interesting male for me I guess you could say. So now I'm working on new porn piece and will also critique your last drawing eventually, if it doesn't bother you. As for getting better at art here is an interesting video: www.ctrlpaint.com/videos/the-m…

The most popular website for posting porn-related artworks seems to be FA. Is there other websites you usually posted your artworks to?
True, male's more muscular body looks more appealing and I am same as you that I never really like looking at porn which involves females. I feel that female's beauty can be more appreciated in non-porn settings.
I have just saw your new porn piece in FA and it is great as always! and it will be nice of you if you would critique my last drawing when you have the time ^^ it won't bother me at all, in fact I would be happy to get critiques for my artworks as it helps to see where I need to improve on.
Thanks a lot for sharing the video with me! It is very helpful and informative. It makes me realised that I have been in the-monkey-house lots of time before and sometimes not even realised it until a few days/weeks after finishing the artwork @@" .

His left arm looks a mite weird, but great job on this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I agree it looks a bit weird . Only found the mistake after finished this artwork ><.
Thanks for pointing it out and for the compliment ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I hate that when you notice a glaring mistake long after it's finished and can't fix it DX
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
woah, that was close
Btw, that was very fast that you just doing this art in just 4 hours. (mind blown )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A second late and probably there will be just a meat pie left on the ground
Thanks a lot for the compliment! It is also kind of a record time for me as well to be able to finish this in 4 hours' time given how slow I draws usually XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
And doing this artwork in just 4 hours...that´really fast 
Yes, I must admit that you do a excelent work with the muscles, you have a great style
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a lot for the compliments and I am happy that you liked my style of drawing the muscles~!
I was expecting to take less than 4 hours to complete this artwork initially as it is meant to be just a rough sketch only XD.
but after trying to clean the rough sketch up and put in the big dragon paw, I must say to be able to finish this in 4 hours surprised me as well XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now keep that great style
and perhaps...maybe a little more of clothing for his dragon XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am just a bit too lazy to draw clothing when I mainly want to practice drawing the muscles as well XDD .
But maybe some shorts or cloths for the lower body at least next time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you know that your work at the anatomy is really good
And watching your previous drawing, with that dragon with the bow I can say you are really good designing armors ^^
Or also if you want...leave your dragons in that way, after all, there´s nothing visible XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks again for the praises ^^ .
Frankly speaking I usually just draw the clothing/armors as I thought of them so if I have to design clothing/armors I probably would be stuck there for days XD .
Haha yea, if there is something visible the drawing would right away become R18 rating, which I most probably wont be submitting to DA XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, is really hard to create a great armor or outfit..and after that...choosing the colors..XDD
Oh but Im sure you can create some great designs, after all, you characters are already awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your kind words are really much appreciated! .
And really choosing the colours can be such a headache after finally decided on the armor/outfit design X< .
Sometimes going bold with the colour choices would end up ruining the entire armor/outfit instead QwQ.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I battle with that each time I create a new outfit XDD, is a pain to do the right choose
But at the end...if it turns hard to choose or create a good armor or clothing...thet can be always naked as here XDDD
My OC Derris will be naked...but saddly he has to wear some pants...let´s say he has something to hide...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The forever hard battle when it comes to create new outfit for either new character or existing character QwQ.
haha, just abandoning the outfit and being naked is the easiest way out whenever couldn't get past the difficult wall of designing it XD.
Otherwise being stuck at the outfit for hours on end doesn't seem worthwhile when more time can be spent on other aspects of the arts XP .
I like your OC Derris's character design and his clothing too! Nice muscles and cool-looking scarf and pants
I am sure you can post naked arts of him but maybe not on DA XP. or probably you can make use of furs to hide the thing which he has to hide without pants on =x .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks so much, as my main OC I must work hard on him, but yeah, I also work hard on my other characters XP
And about posting naked drawings, well, perhaps I could do that, but never...really never, you will see any private part from me, the butt yes...but private parts no, I don´t like to draw that and I prefer, as you say, cover it with fur or another thing (like the tail)
Hey, but about outfit, how could you describe your style to see what kind of clothing you could create c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is great to be able to focus on your own OCs, especially your main OC. For me, I have always strayed off my own main OCs and ended up drawing lots of random OCs before I get back to my main OC XP. It is kind of sad to think I only have one completed coloured drawing of my main OC after so many years haha. I think most people can't even tell which OC is my main OC if they just look at my gallery XDD .
To draw out private part or not is entirely depends on the artist so ya, it is totally fine not to want to draw them. Sorry if I have offended you in some ways or another. Your main OC's outfit suits it very well and brings out unique taste of its own, keep up the good work! ^^
Haha, I think it is possible for all artist to create every kind of clothing imaginable to him/her despite the different art styles. It is just preference to the kind of clothing and maybe how much work the artist is willing to put into creating a clothing. It is a pity that I belongs to the lazy type so whenever I am thinking of clothing, they are usually ones with the minimal work involved XPP . It is one of the major reasons which I very seldom draw my main OC as his clothing needs quite a bit of hard work to draw =x .

Nah, dont worry, Im not offended in any way with this, actually it was a topic that I talked with a friend from here..."why an OC must wear or not trousers" and we discussed about if the OC has visible private parts or if his butt is clearly visible too (for this drawing for example, Im not sure xp); but it was a long chat we we discussed when a OC is fine naked ^^
And about your OC...yes...I will need help to find in your DA
You prefer create characters rather that focus in just a couple of them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's good to hear ^^ . It's nice to have a friend to discuss this topic with and to reach that conclusion XD. I feel that quite a lot of people have both naked version and clothed version of their OCs in the reference sheet, but the private parts can be purposely hidden away XP . For male butt I think most are OK with it unless it is shown in full view and from certain angle (?), but that's what I think XD.
Haha yea, it is difficult to figure out. Actually my main OC is the one in my profile picture. There is a fully coloured artwork of him done a few years back named KylerDrake (which is the online name I adopted for myself) in my gallery. I have made a few minor changes to him since then and draw a few sketches of him including naked one (without the private part) XP.
Not really but often I feel that I am kind of restricting myself if I just stick to a couple of my OCs all the time. Hence I usually just create more characters as I draw new artworks although not being very detailed with them usually. Somehow drawing an existing character make me feel more stress XD, not sure why though.

Now I know who´s your main OC xp
At the end, everyone is free to chose what´s going to wear their charectes, no matter what, and the current deisgn of your OC is great, you only need to draw him more often (that in my opinion), but if you enjoy more creating new characters, well, that´s great too, because you play more with your imagination ^^
Mmm...Im a little curious wich angle do you mean about the male butt XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apologies for the late reply, has been busy with work these few days.
Thanks for praising my OC's design ^^. I have sketched out a drawing for him recently but now it is kind of stuck at that stage OTL. It feels like I just can't be motivated enough to finish drawings of my main OC lol QwQ.
About the angle, I guess like... bottom to top angle of the male butt? XDDD . Not sure whether can you get the idea XP.
