Artist's Comments

I like American Dragon... probably too much. But watching him fly around just makes me soooooo happy (I have reoccurring flight dreams, if that tells you anything).

I've been trying to do fanart for a long time, and this is the only one that didn't come out like total shit. I'm very pleased with it. It makes me happy.

Though, there are a few things I'd like to point out:
1. I didn't realized that the green going down the dragon's back was actually spikes rather than a mane... Oops. Seriously, I didin't. But personally, I think it looks better like this.
2. The way they do the dragon's wings seriously sucks. Not only are they too small for him to be able to fly, there's no bone structure to hold it together! I had to change the shape of them, but I left them really small.
3. If it wasn't for Jake's pants and shoes, I could have done this in only red, green, and yellow (plus black for highlights and colour for Jake's skin, but those don't count).
4. Jake's shoes are off since I make the stripe maroon instead of navy (oops), and that skateboard was really, really hard.

Yes. I am very please with Disney because their original cartoon series just get better and better. Go Disney!

That's lovely, and don't worry about the wings, you'll find they just get better as time goes on. =D

You know what. I like youre wings better. And I too thought the spikes were a mane. They are a mane in my fanart pieces of Jake. ^^ So yay! (They look like a mane :D)

ooh, it's nice to see actually good art of something. xD I like the series, but the dialog bugs me. Whatever, i still watch it xDD

Please don't reload in the middle of the room, its not fun to shoot you with your gun down.

I agree with Dragon-Commando. This is so much better than the style of animation in the show. I like the show a lot too (I just whish Jake would grow up a bit and loose that goofy "tough guy" street-slang). Your drawing, no matter how many differences from the show, is so much better. Great work. ^_^
