So many things I don't want to explain on him, if your a BnG goer, go to the Dragon Contest thread to see my explanation.  I don't like to type stuff over again *or have to go back, copy then come back here and paste*.  I'll make high quality pixel art, but am too lazy to go copy and paste.  10 colors NOT COUNTING my name and the transparency color.  12 hours or so in the making, all pixel by pixel, via mouse.  Enjoy.

Edit*already*:  Ignore that flying pixel that is just floating there, must of missed it when transfering this baby to transparency.

Copy and paste, can't seem to get the hyperlink to work.
That's the thread for all ya'lls out there.  Search for my post on that page that has this dragon's full body.  Be warned however that the one you see there does not have my name, for I uploaded it there before giving it transparency/my name, just a forewarning.

looks more like a dog/scorpion/thing. But it still looks cool.

I think everyone else already said what I'm thinking: It's really awesome, and unique.

The only thing that I think could have been done better is HIS back left leg. It's really awkward looking, like one leg is overlapping another. I'd say it's mostly because the back part of that is getting too much light at the foot area.

But again, this is a really cool sprite, and I love the dynamic shading!

The Jaded Dragon was a guardian of the 7 great treasures of the hidden Earth.  Appointed by Elves of old, the dragon was to kill anything or anyone that tried enter the sacred place.

The dragon was composed of a material not known to man, a material that could not be broken by any manmade, or magic made item.  The dragon was as big as a castle, and stronger than anything seen by mortal eyes.  It was fast too, capable of maxing nearly 130 mph without effort.  The dragon was capable of firing pure ice from it's mouth, and shook the Earth with each step.  The dragon was also capable of being summoned to the mortal plain by the current Elves by way of a magical chant.  The dragon was certainly a force to be reckoned with, and was feared by all when it's enourmous shadow appeared on the battlefield.

A lil' backstory >p<.

Thanks for all the comments guys, they mean quite a lot.  This is like ... the fastest they've come in for any of my pieces.

Great texture. The body build is also excellent, not the usual dragon stereotype. Thumbs up!

Very nice work. Great shading, must have been tricky with all the scales.

It does look a bit like a dog :) but pretty neat.

Awesome work! The texture is greatly detailled and the dragon itself looks really cool! Good work!
