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

would you possibly have examples of the kind of accurate wings you'd like?

honestly you can probably disregard that part on the post, idk why i put that in, but basically just keeping in mind how bats work and applying that to dragons- though it doesnt have to be exactly anatomically correct/can be stylized

this might help?

Hey!
I'm interested in your contest.
I do have one question though. Does the dragon MUST have 4 legs or is it ok if it's not a typical western dragon? More like a wyvern?

he originally died from a severe respiratory infection but im open to other causes if it would affect your design since i made him many years ago

im into dark purple(s)

Ohh okay, This is exciting, I've never designed a dragon character ahh I have so many idea's
I'm going to stick to the death from respiratory infection and find a way to incorporate it somehow, I hate changing people's original characters too much

dont gotta incorporate it if you dont wanna/find it too difficult, its not the most visible of things from the outside

im fine with accessories as long as it doesnt go too crazy with them/cover the whole design

maybe one image with and one without if you add alot that covers a large area?
