bad representation? dude, shut up, it's an amazing piece, i didn't even notice the jaw thing till i read it in your description. even though you pay to much attention to it, you do start to see it, it really isn't noticeable at face value, and doesn't really detract from the piece as a whole

Hmm. I can see how some might say the jaw looks a little big, to me it looks as it could have ended at the first curve from the jaw. I guess I just can't see the depth in the top of the snout but even with that minor flaw, its still looks great. Nobody can do everything perfect.

Yeah, but watch! Someone will say something soon! Just wait! I say this in fun way. Just check the youtube vid comments. Scroll back in earlier pages.

It's all fun tho!

Thanks for the kind words!

This is interesting, and I'm gonna take it as a challenge to play devil's advocate and figure out what they're saying about the jaw- as a quick aside, I believe this was one of the youtube vids that led to me finding your work in the first place, so obviously I think it's damn good in any case.

The main place I could see where people get the confusion confusion is the triangular area created by the jet of flame, the dragon's upper left fang, and the bottom left jawline. Honestly either way I end up looking at the width of the nose and the angle of the jet of flame, and thus the closest thing to a solid theory I can manage is twofold:

The angle of the flame shooting out of the dragon's mouth seems to conflict with the bottom jaw and the back of the neck. It's clear where you wanted the flame to go, and that combined with the really sharp curve of the dragon's upper neck seem to create two different primary points of perspective for the whole thing. It puts you into a predicament: If the jet of flames were adjusted more horizontally, it'd hit the corner of the page, and that's obviously not something readily accepted as good design convention, so you probably automatically pushed aside when thinking of the complete image- the upside would be that it'd look more like it's coming from the dragon's gullet. But because the nose and flame lines are parallel, and the rest of it kind of depends on how sharp you make the curve in its neck, it seems to make the bottom jaw look bent when you focus on it in that context.
