The best pic I could get of the full drawing.
this drawing took me about two days to finish, from beginning to end. I said I was in the mood to draw and my boyfriend suggested I draw a dragon. Originally there was to be a person riding it, but we both decided it was best to scrap that.
I asked for creative liberty with the design and decided to try something I hadn't seen before on a dragon - white stripes surrounded by thick black bands. And where the coloring was lighter, regular black tigerstripes. I don't claim to be the first one to come up with this design, as I'm sure someone already had by the time I did. But I will say this is the first time I tried it myself - and I enjoy the look a lot. :3
I debated with myself for a while about whether or not to let someone take this design and use it for a character, but I think I'll keep it - because I'm a selfish ***** and I get attached to my designs (XD) - and at some point I may use it for something.
Here's a closeup shot of the detail on the head:
