This is a pretty old work, but i still think its one of my best. Fairly simple, static image, it was inteded to be used for a game that got scrapped, though it might find a new home eventually, because every game needs a really big dragon at some point ^^. I might eventually animate, but i dont think so, it has a nice feel to it without animation, like the summons in old Final Fantasy games

Gigeresque palette and anatomy

Zizka (Level 10 Deep Blue) @ 3/6/2014 08:33

Hmm... you started fairly strong at PA (assuming this is among your first pieces). Very FF VIish, you recreated the style perfectly.

Adarias (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 5/1/2012 20:57

light some candles and be gentle at first.

Friend (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 4/22/2012 12:01

I call for a 2D Metroid where this is Ridley.

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 7/6/2007 02:13

Head is pretty hard to see surrounded by the wing like that.
Oldie but still a goodie.:D

Whoa! It amazes me what talent we have on this site.

elend (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 5/15/2007 04:45

Wow that's great. Very detailed and the body got a little bit of H. R. Giger touch to it. Looks great.

natano (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/10/2007 11:46

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/31/2006 18:46

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 10/12/2006 16:04

Geez man, can't believe i hadn't seen this before. It's awesome! I love the detail. Not so good against i light background obviously, but when tinkered or placed against black it looks superb.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/15/2006 02:59

Fantastic piece of pixel art Adarias. The body has an HR Giger feel about it.

joseph_ch (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 7/5/2006 01:07

wow thats amazing. It looks like it would be in a professionaly made 3D game. Fantastic work!

Niss (Level 4 Deputy) @ 4/13/2006 06:22

Excellent work. What more to say - I love this green/yellow+giger texture combo. Ace!

Blood_wave (Level 2 Mercenary) @ 2/4/2006 13:03

purdylicous

DarkAuron (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 1/14/2006 16:09

Dragons are by far the most excellent beast. And yes, it really does touch that Final Fantasy look.

DeathByChris (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/9/2006 20:25

you got some really nice stuff in your gallery, this is definitely my fav.

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 12/12/2005 07:56

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) @ 12/3/2005 11:05

Probably the best pixeled dragon i have ever seen.

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 11/29/2005 11:50

This is indeed competent work. Good design and cool excecution.

d-p (Level 11 Psychopath) @ 11/29/2005 11:07

Whoa! f*-in amazing

5 points and FAV

Fred (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 11/27/2005 11:35

The best pixel dragon how i awere see.

purple_monkey (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 11/27/2005 06:22

Amazing detial you've put into this, only problem I see is that I can't quite make out his head fully without zooming in, but still good work. :)

Oh yeah, I just read what The B.O.B said about the beak, thats what I meant.

Badassbill (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 11/27/2005 01:22

Its got some great textures there and im realy liking the lighting affects.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 11/26/2005 23:03

I can't believe nobody has said anything about this! It's amazing. I love the dragons Alien-like skin texture. Everything on this sucker is top notch...If I had to make any critiques about it, then I'd probably say that it's hard to define what is on the snout, or beak of the dragon, and that it's a little small the first time you see it, maybe the reason why nobody has given it a second chance...I'll be looking forward to your future submissions...keep 'em hot, son....
