Blue Crystal Dragon

So I haven't put anything up in a while and I thought I would. Long story, but I'm visiting my family and my little sisters and I put our latest drawings on the wall, and mine haven't been updated for a while since I've been gone so long, so my mom insisted I draw her a picture. Here you go mom. He was originally facing the other way, but its a running joke in my family that I can only draw the left sides of dragons so I flipped him after I drew him X3

Anyway, I did do a join me for the second half of this when I colored the crystals and shaded the body and whatnot. I'll probably do more at some point. I added those sparkles and he became about 70% less manlier. I left a dark background on him so you could appreciate the glow. I may make a better background for him at some point.

Pretty sure I messed up some of the shading, and I tried something new with the lighting that I'm not really sure if I like, but overall I'm pretty happy with this X3 Lets see how long it takes me before I look back at this and say 'Wut no look at all those things that were wrong!'
