Well, after a long slumber, the pokemon dragons are back with a vengeance, and this new artist has succeeded in this initiation sort of piece with flying colours.
After a long stretch of nidos, it's nice to see something else. Even if the draconic renderations of the nido family was fantastic enough to make even that generic pokemon line wow-worthy. It's nice to get these pokemon you can't really imagine as dragons, because you don't know what to expect.
Anyway, clefairy has one thing in commons with dragon, which is being in fantasy, and you've totally hit on that point with this creature, which looks like something that stepped right out of a little girl's dragon fantasy book. Like clefairy, it's a pink, bulbous, and droll thing, and it couldn't be more fitting.
The muscle detail is great as ever, and the obvious curly tail is there. Just like clefairy, this dragon sports a single-clawed toe, and even clefairy's sharp teeth have been rendered.
The curl and ears have been translated verbatim, and on the other hand, I would have liked to see the wings look a little spikier like clefairy's, but you've well made up for that in your brilliant act of making the wrinkles around clefairy's eyes into gill slits on the dragon's face. That was a clear stroke of genius.
And like the focal character, the scene in this picture is full of wonder, as always, masterfully rendered in crayon. The illuminous aura surrounding the dragon is dazzling, and those glowing cave rocks astound me. You certainly made the whole picture shine with this.
Well, being the new kid, you ought to have fair warning that I give huge blocks of text in my comments. Art like this just inspires me to spout eloquent praise. Well, you certainly fit in well with the other artists, and considering the task of drawing the dragons the others are reluctant to do is yours, I have a feeling, I'm going to like your drawings quite a bit; I anticipate the unexpected.
Mind you I HATE cute dragons, but this one is quite well done. I'm actually glad all the Pokedragons aren't all fierce and intimidating, makes a nice change. I love how you took all of Clefairy's features and kept them in this dragon, the head curl thing, even tail, the ears, even the plumpness. The single hoof-toe thing is also a nice touch. I am now quite intrigued to see Clefable and all the other Pokemon that your friends don't want to do. I wonder how Ditto will turn out, eh? Or Gimer/Muk. heh.
Not entirely sure about the background, it looks to me as if s/he is touching the Moonstone and is about to evolve which would explain the glowy outline, and the darkness would be the cave, but the yellow orbs...
The only 'bad' thing I can say is that you need a little work on angle, some things seem a little off because of the way we are looking at it, but I'm sure that will change with experience, right?
Keep up the good work, it's REALLY refreshing to see another Pokedragon after that extended break.
