This is some creature I drew maybe last year(?). I wasn't trying to draw something from anything, it's just a creature that popped in my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it related to another creature. Hope you like and crits are welcomed!

I can help! Ok. First you go into Submit Work then Art and Photography. Then go into Upload Attachment at the bottom. Upload the saved image of your drawing (you either scan or take a picture of it) by first specifying it by clicking Browse and selecting the image from you computer, and then click Add File. (Make sure this picture is resized.) Add a file comment if you'd like. And click the Submit button! That's it. If your image just isn't uploading then... I don't know what to say. *shrugs* Hope I helped- KD
Hey there! This was definitely something different. I'm not sure about the quality of the picture as a whole. Partially because of the rough shading and smudges around your paper, as well as the little attention to detail, and partially because because of the angle and the weird black stuff in the vicinity.
1. SHADING
To start things off, your paper is a mess. I can see smudges and little tidbits you've erased, and although some of those things are unavoidable, you can always open up your picture into a photo editing software and run white color through the rough bits.
Also, there wasn't really much in the actual picture. It's just a gargoyle like think on a blank sheet of paper, and even the gargoyle doesn't have much value. To me the drawing just seems kind of empty. Add value to the gargoyle. Add a scene around him. Make something about it memorable.
2. ANGLES
The titled angle from which you've shot this photo are pretty iffy. It just is a tad annoying to have to tilt our heads for something that we're supposed to be looking straight down at. Also, the black stuff on the right edge is distracting and doesn't contribute anything to the picture, so try cropping it out.
- Best of luck to you in drawing.

This drawing is definitely unique! The idea as a whole is pretty good, but I'm not to keen on what you've done so far.
Mainly because the photo's quite bad quality It's slightly tilted and with the lighting, you can't really see the drawing properly. As for the drawing itself, you haven't used much shading except for on the body. Also, like Elinor said, you can see where you've erased things. There are smudges over the paper as well.
Overall, I do like your idea. I just think that you need to tidy it up a bit!
If I'm completely honest, my views on this are a little negative because there's only two strong points I can see and they are: 1) Uniqueness 2) The feature detail on the swords
In my opinion, I think that the image is a little bit weird and off-throwing. It drives the visualizer into more confusion than it does any fantasy or mystery. The face isn't very clear either and in terms of the main features, I think you need to strengthen them and do some major tidying up. I think you need to sort out the shading as well, because even on the body it doesn't seem powerful enough. It's not experimental enough. There's nothing really here that's driving it out there and I think thats the main problem
So, my main suggestion? Practice. You'll only improve.
