Heh... Appearently there's a band called acid death too...
 it's just a co-incidenceTitle: Acid Death Character: Morthuaris (Morti) It's fiiiinished!  Yes people, this drawing has taken me... *counts* 2 WEEKS! And I've worked on it nearly every day, in TWO weeks.... Believe me, it was not a fairy tale.All the black-ness was a hell to draw XDD just that took me about 5 days. I know, most of you said "You know, you'll get a hell shading black" ....and you were perfectly right But I have no regrets, it had to take its time. I won't do a thing just because it means hell XDD So, I was determined to finish this, aaand I did  It was all kind of an experiment, hehe. In order to finish it I had to try lots of new things. One of them it playing with textures, which you can see on the snake-like skin, the wings and also the tongue. Another one is drawing mountains... and it was boring. X3When it comes to backgrounds, I always go "AGONYYY" D: Because I never seem to be able to draw good backgrounds. So I got really surprised when this one went out very nice. We all improve, I guess.... I like those toxic, fluffy clouds!!  Morthuaris and artwork (c) me, *Xeikkeiu |

Do not meddle in a Dragon's affairs, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
The horn's seem flat (compared to the rest of the body) Don't be afraid to add "multiply" layers and shade them even more.
It doesn't matter if you want them to be white/lighter shaded, it'll just add depth (and won't wreck the colours)
Same with the other bone-like areas. They could use some extra shadow.
And with the background, it looks like an overlay/standard/etc layer - try switching that to multiply (for future reference). That'll make it the same, but not so "covering" the edges of the picture/character/body (and fading it out like that, especially near the head there.)
I'm not sure how many layers you're using, but at the bottom of the picture (near Morti's feet) the shadow overlays the claws/foot area(s). This could just be general shadows, but I think it would look better to have the shadow behind the feet/legs and also add a lot of highlights.
Well, yeah, anyways. That's it. Other than that, you have the anatomy spot on and I can really see the physical structure of Morthuaris.
