This picture has a lot of obvious influence from dragonall.
The background reminds me of king kai's planet.
The dragon looks a bit impatient and is waiting for the red headed girl, ball of yarn and floating monster to make their wish.
The shadows on the ground in the shapes of it's object is an interesting subtle detail.
The two planets in the sky and cloud formations appear to have the most detail.
A good solid drawing but a bit more extra polish in the shading, lighting and shadows would have been perfect.
Keep making those brand new drawings and slow down if needed.

Why is he a Christmas dragon? Beats me : )

Thanks, Mighty!
I didn't realize you were a Dragon Ball fan, then again who isn't these days? I've seen every episode of Dragon Ball, DBZ, and even GT. This doesn't really pertain to anything, but I'm pretty big on Dragon Ball, so I'll take a Toriyama comparison any day.
I wasn't going for a King Kai's planet look, but now that you mention it, it is shockingly similar.
I love the observation you make about the girl making her wish and the dragon being impatient. I honestly hadn't even thought about that. I just kinda drew my mind without putting much thought into what was actually going on. I guess doing things that way, the story is whatever you make of it.
This doesn't have anything to do with anything, but the planet is Earth, but in my own fictional universe in which all of my drawings and animations take place. The two bodies in the sky are two of Earth's three moons.
Thank you for a thoughtful review. I fully agree with everything you mentioned. This was the first time that the bulk of the drawing wasn't done in MS paint, so much of it was me experimenting with new things like shadows. And this again has nothing to do with anything - I don't know if you clicked on the full sized image, but this drawing is ENORMOUS.
Anyways, thank you very much. I'll keep on trying my very best, if even just for my few, but very awesome fans :-)
This looks amazing holy ass
Bertn1991 responds:
Wow, thank you so much!! I hope you're not teasing me or somethin'.
You know Bert, I often have no idea what is going through your head, and that intrigues me :-)
Bertn1991 responds:
I really do appreciate these comments of yours. Much respect. And yeah, I'm something of a weirdo ;-)
