Very striking colors! I do like the idea of having varied colored and patterned spikes for one dragon, quite interesting to think about if these spikes could maybe serve different functions as well.
The head design is also pretty cool! The black and red patterns make the dragon seem like it’s wearing a mask. I do like the black and red patterns overall, sometimes there are more black than red in places (head and wings), other times there are more red than black (elsewhere), still quite coherent though, very unique.
My only critique would be the color palette having too much vibrant/contrasting colors at the same time:
- I feel like there could be more shades of the main colors (red, black/gray...maybe white?) to better transition between each other because they are very contrasting;
- also the gray belly plates looks somewhat out of place, it sits between white and black (seeing the value, technically closer to black but it doesn't seem like it at first glance), and isn't used anywhere besides the spikes on the dragon's head—I feel like it could instead be of a much lighter gray leaning towards white (I mean even the gray from the top spikes looks lighter, game magic I guess), or a much darker gray leaning towards black.
That’s just my thoughts though, I’m not a professional lol.
If I’m going to rate it out of 10, I’d probably say a 7.5/10, there’s definitely room for polishing but you still did a wonderful job!
