END DATE; June 22nd (6/22) 10:30PM LDT. no longer taking extensions

ANYWAYS. ive got this boy i made like... a few years ago? after listening to Hollow by Cloudeater but i cannot for the life of me give him a good design, everytime i draw him it looks like Generic Western Dragon so i figure ill leave it up to others. hes a reluctant immortal whose jealous of the living after dying from natural causes and being resurrected + hes perpetually angry.


RULES;

- im lookin' for a feral design, no anthro please
- looking for original art i.e. no pre-made lineart
- since i plan on getting more art of him in the future i'd prefer a ref sheet or a very clear fullbody
- you can enter as much as you want but to keep things fair you can only win once (if someone gets first place another of their designs cant also get second place)

WHAT I LIKE -

- things that move with emotions (ex; quills that stand up when startled or a frill that unfolds when angy)
- gradient marks? not sure if thats what theyre called but lets say the tip of the tail is white and the base is black and you got different shades of grey between as it goes from one from the other
- big old chompers, love me some teeth
- i generally prefer scaled designs over feathered/fur because i find them easier to draw but if you wanna try feathers or fur go for it :)
- stuff thats weird/creative! maybe theres 3 sets of eyes. maybe the jaw splits. get as experimental as you want

WHAT I DON'T LIKE

- bright primary colors. by this i mean neon, if you wanna make em mainly orange go for it as long as its something paler like ginger and doesnt burn my eyes. bright colors are fine as secondary/tertiary markings though
- this is more of a pet peeve but inaccurate membrane wings
- overly complicated designs with like 27 different kinds of markings

sorry this got kinda long, didn't mean for it to lol. if you got any questions, ask away

I might draw him if I get enough free time in the future, though for the moment may I ask how strong is he? Or a better way to put it is do you consider him powerful or kind of average?

Here is the Ref Sheet
https://imgur.com/Ahk5Kj5
Just so you know, its altered, just to prevent art theft (not that you would do that, but someone stole my friend's art that way, so its best to be cautious).
If I do end up winning, I will send you the unaltered piece, along with the color palette. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks :)
Yeah, June 1st is fine. I was kind of hoping for a closer end date just because I promised my friend that I would help her get this Gon she’s been obsessively stalking for the past three weeks that just was put up for sale. It’s fine though, and I’m very appreciative of you for hosting this contest, as it was a fun opportunity

Here’s my design! Hopefully its not too complicated I went a little ham. I tried to include a few different things from real animals, for example the frill is from frilled lizards and the eyes are inspired by chameleon eyes.

Oooooo I'm entering, this seems fun! But if you dont mind me asking, are there certain colours you're more inclined to look at? Like favorite colours, or the colour you predominately used in your own design? (I think I read that you tried to draw ur dragon b4....if not ignore this :,^D)

@Kai it isnt done yet :) also feral is just like an animal. like a normal cat drawing vs a cat drawing with human traits (bipedal, hands, etc)
