    Wow I love the chinese feel to it. I find that so hard to do :p I love the yellow colouring instaed of actually chest plates like most do. It's really awesome, the writing really finishes it off. Well done.
     
    Hmm nice Oritenal/Chinese. To be a pure one though the whiskers do need to be longer, stupidly long and usually as big as they are but yeah and the horns you've suggested a bit more stand away from the skull. Oh yeah the thumb claw is on the wrong side :p Tis nicely done though, Orite- ah forget it Chinese is easier, are an absolute bugger to do as they are a fixed style pretty much :3
     
    *reads---"Loving you always"* XD
    Wow that's a brilliant picture you did! That dragon looks really majestic. And the details are well done :D
    I wish you a Happy (Chinese) New Year in advanced too!

    Those are chinese words, but there are such things called kanji in Japanese which look like them.
    So you can say that the Japanese borrowed a few Chinese words into their language.

    I thought that was simplified Chinese. XD; Nah, I can't read Japanese. (T-T) I can just read some of the Kanji. The Japanese borrowed all of the Chinese words, belive it or not, they just evolved. n_n;

    i read somewhere that the letters were stolen from the chinese whenever the japanese invaded china(happened quite a lot), happened around the 9th century, japenese didnt have their own language.

    now the pic, its great, its very detailed and the colour of the ocean and the shooting star oh its just great

    Chinese figures have a more broad side view and have more strokes than the Japanese figures. Japanese Kanji have only a few strokes while Chinese figures requires more strokes to complete a single figure... Chinese figures also have a light or slim tone in them (considering caliagraphy) while Japanese figures have a smooth or more "curving" lines...

    bah I talked too much... anyways, awesome picture! ^_^
     
    That is a well done dragon. I normaly don;t like that typ of dragon but this one is just realy good. I think the back ground goes well with the dragon.


    BTW: I think Chinese and Japanese figures look wonderfull.
