Yet Another Art Contest from me!

I've been wanting more Dragon OCs/Characters.. And since i kinda suck on drawing dragons.. Why not Art Contest for some

§What are Dragons?-
A dragon is a large, serpentine legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures around the world. A legendary monster usually conceived as a huge, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaly lizard or snake with a barbed tail and Dragons in eastern cultures are usually depicted as wingless, four-legged, serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence. The earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble giant snakes.

§Why Dragons?-
I love the aspect of "mythical but could be real" of the creatures. They dont get enough love - as far as art goes you dont see too many dragon OCs out there!

Dragon Characters to look at;
Igneel or Acnologia or any dragon from Fairy Tail
Trico from the Last Guardian
Haku from Spirited Away
Toothless or any How to Train of Dragon Dragons (love the movie)


¤Rules
1. Feral Design - NO Anthro.
2. Original Art - NO Pre-made Lineart.
3. Since I'd probably get more art of them - I'd prefer Ref sheet or Fullbody.
4. You can enter multiple times - But Win Once!
5. Traditional or Digital - As Long as its Colored!
6. You gotta be okay with me posting to TH or other places (you will be credited)
7. Prizes & End Date are subject to change if needed.

ΩWhat I LikeΩ
°Weird/Creepy/Tragic Looks (Mouth Tail, Multi-Eyed, Split Mouth)
°Looks as has a Tragic Backstory (Injuries, Missing Limbs/Skin, Scars, Exposed Bone)
°If you wanna create ^ Tragic Backstory you can
°Preferably Scaled - But Feathers/Fur is fine.
°Things that move with emotion (Frills that open when angry, quills that stand up or go down, Spikes, Marks that glow)
°Big Teeth/Fangs, Big Claws/Talons, Big Horns
°Gradient or Multi-Coloured Marks
°Neutral Bases with Coloured Marks
°Optional - If you wanna give the dragon a little pet or friend
°Optional - Adding a human to dragon scale for size
°Optional - Shapeshifter (Between Human & Dragon - Show Human Look)
*might add more*

θWhat I Don't Likeθ
·Inaccurate Wings/Body Shapes (Unless Hybrid)
·Complicated Markings (Keeping it simple is better - dont need 20 marks)
·Red & Blue next to each other (hurts eyes)
*might add more*

ฯPrizes & Moreฯ
First Place
80GB
Second Place
40GB
Third Place

Notes: they have four pupils,
larger than most of the creatures in its world,
the horns, claws and golden lines on their neck glows when startled or upset.

If you're wondering about that over claw... it's intentional. He was born with a deformed claw

This will end at 11:59pm.

I am going to sleep now (7:30pm) so there's approx 4 hours left for any last min entries..
Entry list will either be updated later or not at all (kinda lazy) but as long as your entry is linked in your comment everything should be fine.

I can already tell this will be tough to pick winners, theres soooo many great dragons up!!

Dragon-Contest-Entry
This is my (other) entry. I've improved a lot since I first drew for this contest, and I wanted to enter again.
This species is an underwater creature. Their coats, although all unique, resemble the waves and the ocean floor. This particular species is wingless, to help them glide quickly through the water in an aerodynamic fashion. They have sharp beaks to eat seabound birds and fish easier. They also have long fur on their backs, which grows as they age - hence, the length of their hair is an important indicator of their age, as the longer it is the older they are. In this way, the fur acts like the rings of a tree.

This dragon lost part of its horn from an encounter with a fishing boat. When surfacing to catch a bird to eat, it was caught in a fishing net. Found hours later by the industrial fishing boat, the crew, in their fear, attempted to kill the poor creature. It was able to escape but at the expense of part of a horn.

There are less than 90 of the rare dragon species in the wild. They are, at the largest size, 7 feet tall and 11 feet long. When they are feeling any strong emotions, iridescent gills rise from their fuzzy necks. When they are particularly scared and their gills pop out, it helps to ward off the cause of their fear - so in this way, the shining gills are a defense mechanism as well, although they don't have many natural predators in the wild. When they are mating, these gills also appear.

Please tell me Im not too late lol

...you wanted a tragic backstory?
I like to think that this guy is a general for an army, having climbed his way up the ranks through many a battle. He can't fly as fast or agile as most dragons,. given the damage on his wings, but can still manage fine on his own.
His long back spines can go up or down depending on emotion, generally going up when threatened or suprised, and laying back when relaxed.
(I did this in pencil/colored pencil btw)

If the image link doesn't work please tell me(I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to do it so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work)
