Gaulzen turned his head to look at his mount. Though he and Vennim still had a rather raw relationship, the vampire found himself liking the dragon more and more with each passing second. Vennim's ebony hide was blacker than the night itself, each indivdiaul scale had its own dark shadow and blood red highlight. Vennim's acid green eyes seemed to glow in the dark along with his pale gray, almost white, underbelly. Vennim, with his neck in a S shape and his wings folded comfortably, appeared to be at ease. His long narrow jaws reminded Gaulzen very much of a hawk, only this hawk was larger, nastier, armored, and more powerful than any other hawk.
Wee, finally done with it.

You have the neck shape down perfectly - very graceful pose - and I love the colour you've chosen for the eyes. The only thing I think could really improve this piece would again be darker shadows. It is definitely a lovely drawing, though, despit its lightness. The scale detail on his wings really stands out. --- |
