I have no idea how I ended up doing a Dragon. I was messing with shapes in GraphicGales and... It just happened. 

Learned alot, about shapes, colors and stuff. That's without any hesitation the biggest piece of pixel art I ever done - by far !

Was a lot of fun to do. 
Thanks to 9_6 that gave me some advices on Pixelation. :)

What do you think?

It would be sooooo much better if I wasn't a lazy fucktard. 
(but on that particular piece, there is absolutely no dynamic so addind a body would look totally off)

Thanks!

 Great texture and color, now would be even better if there was a body but great job overall.

 Oh wow, this is really impressive.  I love the texture in the horn!  (And everywhere else, too!)

Thanks alot!

To be honest... the more I worked on this piece, the more I wanted to make it bigger, not just sticking to making a head. 
But... it totally lacks dynamic. The basic shape is flat, dull... I'm the kind of guy that would rather start a new piece (a more ambitious one, this time!) rather than spend more time trying to correct something that shouldn't be. 

And yet, your idea of a knight pulling it is excessively interesting and would be a perfect way to continue it... 
So, I don't really know yet; I thought I'd start something new to use all what I learned, but now I'm having doubts. 
Oh well. Thanks anyway, that kind of comment makes my motivation burst like mad, can't wait to get some time to pixel!

Merci ! (yep, you do!)

This is a big improvement on your previous works so congrats. The one thing I will say is that I think you should be more ambitious with it. If you don't want to go the route of a whole body, then you could do something a bit creative, like a knight pulling the head along behind him through the snow with ropes tied to the horns.

Bien joué. (I hope I got that right.)

Ok pas de problème si c'est voulue, après c'est juste une affaire de gout personnelle.

En tout cas je le redit, les écailles sont bien foutues et la palette agréable de surcroit ;) .

Merci ! C'est un commentaire agréable, parce que c'est exactement ce que j'essayais de faire. Je voulais éviter le banal, content que ça se ressente !

Drakengard... J'ai pas joué à ce jeu depuis sa sortie, je ne l'ai jamais fini, et pourtant j'en ai plein de bons souvenirs !

Well, that was intended; I wanted something a bit original for a change, something messy and unusual. Dunno if I won, but at least I have the kind of result I aimed for...

J'aime beaucoup le rendu de ce pixel art. D'habitude avec les arts sur des dragons, on tombe dans du cliché, tandis que là tu as réussi à donner une touche personnelle/originale et très sympathique à celui-ci. 
Les cornes et la forme de la tête me rappellent Drakengard (un très bon jeu sur PS2), j'adhère encore plus <3

The scale looks great, but the horn looks weird.
