hey, thats cool! one crit i have is that the dragon looks like a normal guy with spikey hair. maybe make him looking more over his muzzle so it isn't shaped like a normal face?
i like the solid outline of the figures, make them stand out and gives it a book illustration feel.

it's all a conspiracy!

Thanks, I'm really looking into drawing dragons and anime right now but haven't looked at much dragon picture either front or side views.

Cool Dragon Dan but do you know how to do scales on a dragon... in pencil style... that's something that hard to learn probably.

I try the way you did Dan and it does work on cartoon style dragon but what about more realistic... Do they look something like Dinosaurs and lizards cause I can just get pictures of those and apply it on dragon pictures.

Here's a little repaint I did of your picture.

Big weapons can look "cool", but in real battle, the guy with a sword as big as the cyclop's on your drawing has time to die 6 times before even lifting the sword.

Black outline is not the best way to make shapes come out. Shading and lighting is what makes an object stick out.

I also took out your goblin, because, well, a one legged goblin isn't a worthy ennemy

Anyway, a picture's worth 1000 words, so there you go. Best way to make the most out of a repaint is to figure out the differences between the two and why one aspect of one drawing/painting is better than the other. That way, next time you'll want to execute a drawing manoeuver, you'll be like: "Oh, I won't try the same technique again, since I know a better technique exists. I'll try to master it."
