Looking nice, especially the bricks :)

I think *his* left wing should be a bit lower and it seems to be at a little bit of an odd angle. I was playing Super Castlevania 4 recently; this could possibly be a helpful reference:

Also, I would ease up a bit on the ordered dither. Maybe reduce the contrast in the background too.

I think this would be better if it were an action shot; what is the main character doing - calmly loitering around while the boss is about to slice his head off?

skamocore: updated again, i made some crappy wings before your post, but I can't really do much about the contrast in the background (well, apart from the red rocks) without bringing the foreground down as well, and I think it is pretty necessary in the foreground. The ordered dither everywhere was more of a time saver than anything else, its easy to do and I needed to cover a lot of area and have been spending a lot more time than I wanted on this.

Anyways thanks for the reference, probably going to wipe these wings and have another go, soon

Oh, too bad I didn't have a chance to submit my Dragon Warrior themed dragon. I finished it recently a few days ago (aug. 11). Oh well, I probably didn't complete it according to the rules somewhere anyway. :)

Good luck to who wins!
