Musical Inspiration

Finally, another dragon! \o/

Space scenes are ridiculously fun to draw.

I haven't drawn anything really creative and completely original for quite a while (it's mostly been fanart) but a few days ago I watched *Isvoc's livestream, and it really inspired me to get my brain into gear again. I may go back and touch parts of this up at a later time.

EDIT: Detail shot! :D

A very powerful piece both creatively and subject-wise. (Afterall dragons are the most powerful creatures, are they not?) The background's hues of purple and green with so many accents of red and blue and yellow looks amazing, simply beautiful.
There are three things I think could be improved, as marvellous as this piece is.
First, the lighting. Some purple highlights on the belly from the space cloud would add to connecting the background to the subject. Also, the lighting is unclear. As the only light source visible in the piece is the stars he is chasing, making them a more prominent light source would help give better contrast to the dragon's lighting and better place the shooting stars in the scene.
Secondly, the dragon's eye appears to be fixed ahead, not at the star he seems to be reaching out for. I'm not sure if that was the intended effect. ^^
Finally, the placement of his left front paw (not the one reaching out) seems a bit awkward for flight. His claws are spread out as though almost walking.

Overall, this piece is magnificent and beautiful. I love it, great work!
