Description

Attor is an old english name for a dragon of gall, poison, and venom. This dragon is Poisonous, venomous, dark, and electrified.

Drawn with Manga Studio Debut

Attor or in other words "Old English word meaning "gall; poison; venom." Variant: Ator."
Attor the dragon I have created is a poisonous venom electric dark dragon. It may be a mix of four elements but I created it that way to make it look correct. The tendrils coming off are like USB shapes but the yellow frills on the dragon brings its electricity by causing atoms in the air around it to heat up and create enough friction to make electricity. This spark only occurs when the frills stand.
The tendrils are used to transfer the electricity into either a ball or a current by the dragon using vents in parts of its body from the frills to the ends and tips of these tendrils.
The dragon uses darkness like shadows. It will walk into them and basically blend and vanish from sight. This is used to fled or sneak up on prey. The dragon cannot attack when using this move so its usually used to escape with
Darkness also helps it heal up its wounds. Not by a lot only by a little.
The poison is hidden within the frills of the dragon. If pricked it won't shock you but it will poison you with a type of paralysis.
It's rather harmless, and will wear off in about 5 minutes
The green ooze coating its body is a defensive matter. It will not use it in an attack. It will cost its body in Acidic ooze. The scales on its body protects it from being burned. The acid is used to burn larger enemies that would eat the dragon. Sometimes it's use to defend against other animals or creatures meant on hurting it. The acid eats through steel and kills plants and other things it touches weaker than steel.
This acid coat only works for a good 3 minutes minimum and 6 minutes top. After use it cannot be used again until 20 minutes after the former use.
20 minutes is minimum time. The recommended time is about 60 minutes or an hour.
If the dragon dies the paralysis frills can still work. If pricked the effects remain.
The dragon has no eyes. It uses feeling, hearing, smell, taste and heat signatures to see its prey or predator. It won't use these abilities unless it hears something.
People have rumored that these dragons only roam areas where rare artifacts are located. The dragons are said to use the artifact's powers and use it to protect the artifact from those who would steal it.

Very unique style, rarely have I seen this type of style used where the sketch lines are visible from under the coloring. This gives this a very gritty and "messy" look, which I think you were trying to accomplish, judging by the description of the creature. I am not absolutely certain if it's because of your style or not, but at many points the coloring goes way beyond the sketch lines, I feel that is something you could improve on next time. Otherwise coloring is nice and smooth in most parts, but in the mouth and around the scars on the neck, you used a quite small brush which made the coloring very rough and hasty looking in those areas, allowing some of the color from below to bleed on top of the main color. Also the coloring in the mouth isn't very smooth and there are a lot of squiggly lines visible there indicating that you were trying to color a too large of an area with a too small of a brush. This is barely noticeable at a quick glance, but it is very much noticeable after some viewing. Shading is nice and consistent throughout and I like how the sketch lines give some additional depth and texture to the creature.
