Description
I present to you another original dragon species that roams the world of Yggdramiar. This time the massive Boulderskull dragon.
BACKGROUND STORY AND SPECIES DETAILS
The boulderskull dragon, also known as rockhead or brown mountain dragon, is a massive and bulky dragon, reaching the 100 meters (330~ feet) from head to tail. In contrast to the previously explained dragons (Darkmoon, triblade and blackhorn) the boulderskull dragons have evolved to mimic the arid mountains they live in, thus having a variety of colors and patterns on it's scales.
It takes their eggs 6 months to hatch, compared to the most common 2 month span. Their offspring is born the size of medium horse, without it horns and spikes, that later shall grow (around 12 or 18 months old).
Their primary defense mechanisms are their forearm spikes, although they can use the protuberances on their backs and powerful skull to bash their opponents. They have a weak fire breath for its size, but it is still as strong as those from a common size dragon.
As many other non-magical aligned dragons, their use of magic is limited, since they are not the smartest dragon kind. They evolved to use their gigantic size and strength to hunt. Because of their size, they are really scarce and hard to find, they only live in couples, since more dragons of this size could eat all the resources from a vast land in no time. They only have to hunt once a month, except if there is a recently born among them. Their preferred prey are big animals, like mountain bears, elephants and smaller ground dragons.

Vision Originality Technique ImpactHey! I see your backgrounds are getting a little better! Just note that you should make the ground which the dragon is immediately standing on less blurry towards the front and increasing in blur as you get further away. Also, know that mountains aren't perfectly round and are irregularly shaped.
You did well with the dragon, including textures, color variation, detailing (especially with those gnarled fingers!!!), and perspective. The only complaints I have about the dragon, itself, is that its right thigh is missing completely and the tail looks kind of weird. In this case, with a thigh that huge, it wouldn't have been obscured by its left arm. The tail is basically the only part where it seems you missed the perspective. I think that the last portion of the tail should be a little flatter.
Just being picky, though. Otherwise, your picture looks AMAZING!!! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="
