Description
Okay, this is the second drawing using my new style ._.;I don't think it turned out all that well...just because there are A LOT of mistakes in this one. x__x Too...the coloring isn't as good as my previous drawing...and I was really hoping to do well in the coloring on this x.x; I'm really sorry to disappoint anyone ._.;
This is my 3rd time drawing dragons in my life x.x
I did get reference for them, since I wasn't really sure of how to draw them x_x;
The drawing is of a guy who has to choose the Earth's fate....whether it succumbs to evil or good.
Got help for the idea from Ruuruu-chan ^^ While I was at her house yesterday. So thank you very much ^^
Anyways! Comments and Suggestions are greatly appreciated ^^
Thanks!

I think another color for the background will be better ^^ (white is too commonplace) but it's a good pic and a good work (sorry I don't speak very well english so I can't say exactly what I want to say ;___; lol). Keep on!

Zomg! You are teh 1337 roxorz! >.< Don't put yourself down! Only I can put you down which I will not do! XD Lol. *slaps self*
Yesh, I'm stupid.
Anyways, I think the coloring on this one is better than the last one. And... it has dragons... which makes it... super awesome. XD And... it has a background! If I could drawl, I would drawl, but I can't draw, so I don't drawl, but if I practiced, I bet I would be awesome, but I don't so I'm not. XD Haha.
Well, keep up the good work! Much luffs to you! XD

You know what? If you put down yourself and your artistic abilities again, I will personally drive down to Ferntuckey get some blunt object and samck you with it. Are we clear? *eyebrow raise*
Mur4s4me had some good points, I was going to point out some things but Mur4s4me had already done it. Personally, I like your old style and this style too (this style is so smexy XD), its so.....*thinks* awesome, to put it simply. Anyways, as artists we are all still improving and it takes a ton of practice so we can get better at what we do. Its true. *nodnod* So, my point is that you have some real talent going for you and if you keep it up you should get better at your skills (ha! skills....that reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite....yes that was random).
I'm gonna suggest something that you should do (you don't have to though). You should take the 100 art challenge where you have 100 themes for drawings. I think with how your changing your style and such, that it would do you could. If you want themes I have some....thats only if you want to take the challenge.

Mur4s4me had very, very good points. Your drawing doesn't suck at all, the coloring is fantastic and both dragons turned out beautifuly. Don't put yourself down, or I'll do what Mur4s4me suggested. I"LL CHOKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (not really).

Well at least you're not hitting me with a Physics and Chemistry text book...like last time....x___x;
I can't help it Max; I have self-esteem issues x.x;;
But thank you for the kind comment...as always ^^

.... 
You changed alot in the way you draw, and color. However, you changed in a really positive way. I almost got off my chair when the picture appeared XD! The way you do the shading now is a lot more detailed and accurate than before. You also do more realistic facial structure such as lips and nose. In my opinion, I prefered the way you drew them before, but the hair is just THE awesomeness here >w
The concept is fabulous too. It was one of the primary things that really caught my attention. I always wished I could do something like that TT^TT... The foldings are nicely done too ^^.
About the "many" mistakes... Honestly, I don't really see them. Maybe you are talking about somethings that you personally don't like about it, or something that you wanted to do but didn't turn out the way you wished. Well, there is only the thingy (dunno how it's called) about the neck, you know, the two "lines" that links to the collar bone? I think that the right one (his right) is placed a bit too close to the left one. Also, if you made his left elbow wider, it would have fit the other one better. However, it's just minor things. The overall drawing, I could stare and drool at it for hours O_O.
I can't believe that you change your style this much in so little time. What pushed you to do so?
Well, to conclude, this is a must fave XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awwww thanks 
o_o Oh wow, I'm sorry my drawing caused you to do that x___x;;;
Okay...I will point them out XD
Left horn on the blue dragon is smaller then the right. Guy's body is a tad bit too small for the head x.x;...I forgot to add shines to the red dragon's head...
Clouds look too solid x.x
Coloring sucks in general XD It's not as good as my previous drawing at least x.x;;;;
Erm...reason was....I got bored of my drawings because they were taking me less and less time to draw and color...and I just felt like...I wasn't improving all that much..
I wanted a challenge...there we go XD Something that would force me to go the extra 50% in effort.... ._.; (although I got lazy with this drawing a few times .__.; ) Although I still think I suck at drawing x_x;
And thank you so very much for the fave ^^ I really appreciate it....it's such an honor! TT_TT You are too kind...

WTFBBQSAUCEINADIAPER?
Left horn on the blue dragon is smaller then the right.
Yes, indeed, but that's only something little, and because of the 3/4 view, I think the size difference is good. Its head is inclined a bit too.
Guy's body is a tad bit too small for the head x.x;...
I was looking at his body about this, and I'm sure you are wrong. We oftenly see bishounen with a very thin body. It's kind of a style or a "norm" in bishies XD. In my opinion, after trying to picture how it would look if his body was bigger, it looks great as it is.
I forgot to add shines to the red dragon's head...
Lol, I was more looking at the lines instead of the actual coloring, and I thought that maybe of the angle or something, its face is covered by the shadow.
Clouds look too solid
True, it looks solid, but depending on the lightning, it can be alright. I often mention this, but it may also depend on the style you use for clouds. A more solid looking type like this reminds me of some sort of asian painting or something. It's true that it could be softer-looking though.
Coloring sucks in general
T_T I'm going to strangle you. It DOESN'T suck. NONE of your drawing sucks, and this one, REALLY NOT DX!! Oh god I'm going to collapes. Frankly, I really consider the way you color here better than the one on the girl especially on the clothes and hair. Well, it depends on you, that is only my opinion.
Hm... okay, so that' why. I think it was a good choice to give yourself a challenge ^^. It's a good way to improve too, but I still suggest that you try to use a new style while keeping the other one X3.
You are welcome!
P.S.: All my words are purely honest.

*gulps* *doesn't want to be strangled* x__x;
Okay, okay....I'll take your word for it.
...O__O Don't collapse? Why are you going to collapse?????
Aw...well thanks.
I'll keep my old style, don't worry ^^
And thank you so very much for your honesty...I really really appreciate this...a lot.

No problem ^^. I like both of your style very much =].
Um.. well, about the collapes thingy. That was because you said the coloring sucked XD <----can't believe
