looks fine to me, but what do you see wrong, like what do you want to look better? o.O

Well, it's damn bold and ambitious.
I like the overall shape. That couldn't have been too easy. The expression is also very good.

For example look at his wacky shaped body directly below the head.

This might be what Mag means (?). The curve on the lower loop doesn't match up. It makes me look closely to see which is his/her actual neck.

Asie from AAing some of the belly segments (and even the outline since you can use alphas), you might also consider going full-force on the texturing. Dragons seem like they'd give a great opportunity for playing around with 4 or 9 pixel patterns and reptillian skin.



I think the trick (and thus, the hard part) would be wrapping that texture around the cylindrical body of the sucka. Easier critted than done, I suppose.

(A really crude example, but maybe makes the point I'm gettin at)

(I know I'm pushin this lately, but: ) There are some really great dragons in the 'Hall o fame' of pixelJernt ya might wanna check out for inspiration (I'm particularly fond of Fool's animated one).

Anyhoo. Really good stuff, LG. Hope to see more.

Nice. Though you should work on that line art. http://derekyu.com/extras/pixel03.html - Lines

Occasionally you come across some lines that even if you do use the right patterns to smooth them out they still wont look right(often because of the colors surrounding them).

And of of course adding detail like TMDI said (rough demonstration on the head).
