I like the idea of using the dragon arms for accenting the eyes, very cool
idea. I think I would prefer them turned around and on top of the eye, so
that the arms would be like 'eyebrows', with the spikes of the arms sloping to
the back. I realize, however, that doing so would require a complete redesign
of your dragon's head.

Nice drawing. I can't help but think, though, that your dragon's wings (if
they are wings) are facing backwards. Maybe I'm just missing something?

I'd love to see some more pictures of an overall view of your MOC. From what
I've seen you've successfully created a very lean, wicked looking dragon. I
like the construction of the spine, it gives the creature a very smooth hunched
over look. It also appears from your pictures that your dragon has a hard time
holding up its own weight, it's hard to find small joints that have a lot of
resistance to them.
All in all, Nice job.
