I gave it a try as well... and i agree with pkmays, with a few extra colors it's going to be übernice.

I did the colors basically reverse compared to pkmays edit and tried to pop up the different colors on the face.

Thanks alot for the help guys, it's getting better thanks to the cc.
I've done alot of changes, added colors, new palette, more highlights, the wing will also be fixed. Although I have added a few colors, Im not going to add that many transitional colors, nor will the palette dramatically change from green to blue (I changed the darkest colors as suggested by terley) because that was not what I intended.

Again, thanks for all the criticism, I appreciate it, more progress will be posted soon.

I feel the effect of overdithering is not always a pleasant one. Can you post your latest update, I want to see if it can be helped without adding significantly more colors.

superrough edit. I think you need to go with more colors and ditch large areas of 50 dithering.

pixel-art and dragons go hand in hand.

new edits looking awesome, but i would certainly trim down the thing under the neck, if not remove it.  some of the claws need toning down as mentioned before, they currently look like gold.
