Sure thing, as long as the signature/copyright info is not removed that's fine. :)

Male and female Greys look pretty much the same, so that's a decent reference for the parent. ;)
That said, the Greater Grey are notoriously uncaring for their offspring. Old Ebb (he is a long-time roleplaying character of mine so I've spent some considerable time exploring what kind of personality a dragon might have - he's an extreme nihilist) did reveal on occation that he outlived all his children, two of whom he killed himself.

Like O, I've always liked dragons too, I've always thought they were maligned and given a bad reputation. Ancient lore/mythology taught that when the universe exploded into being, tiny bits of fire were thrown clear and these became dragons. I've always liked the Chinese view of dragons, they weren't all bad and were in different 'classes'. There were the common 3 toe dragon then there were the celestial 5 toe dragons. I think the Europeans that started portraying them as evil.

@TheShock:
Dragons as spaceships eh? :D

@Gms9810:
Old 'Ebb', the dragon depicted, is a roleplaying character of mine, which I created specifically to explore a possible psychology of a dragon. Ebb didn't believe in the concept of evil; he was neither good nor evil, he was more of a force of nature, he didn't care for anything but his own survival - even anger and happiness were alien to him, they were superfluous emotions without meaning to the old monster. A very old, highly intelligent being without the restraints and biases of human cultures and even lacking emotions recognizable by humans, how can such a thing ever be judged along a normal human scale?
Ah, the roleplaying I've done exploring this interesting, alien personality!

Griatch

Unfortunately humans judge everything by a human scale, whether they have understanding or not.

Very nicely done!!! I love the over all flow of the composition. It keeps my eyes moving and from another artist point of view that's a good thing to accomplish in an art piece such as that. GREAT WORK!!!!! :bigthup
