Day Nine: Six "Limbed" Dragon

Because I can draw dragons whenever, including when I lose all my spoons to something stupid like my car battery dying, and because they turn out decently even when I'm drawing very half-heartedly.  )

A revisit to my anatomically workable traditional styled dragon. Instead of one big physiological mess of muscle and bone the forelegs and wings create when the dragon is given four legs and two wings in which the dragon shouldn't be able to fly at all, I found a work around.  

The dragon has its' proper hind legs, and a proper set of wings that include a deep breastbone for the muscles needed for powered flight, and then a set of "forelegs" that are actually a pair of modified ribs that float over the wing muscles. They're not terribly functional, but they work well enough to support the dragon when its' on the ground and to slash out when attacking like this.

Included two versions because the stupid smoke covered its' false shoulders.
