Water Dragon sprite

Wow! The skill and proportions on this pixel art really just blows me out of the water! You definitely hit on all the major points with this picture! Hard shading, soft shading and highlights, there is nothing missing (except perhaps dithering, I love dithering...). I admit its quite challenging to make pixel art this big, so it looks like this took quite a long time for you! Looking at this dragon (and being as obsessed with the SNES as I am) I can only say one thing. Super Metroid. Did that game influence this piece? The eyes and long toes really gives the dragon that horror-sci-fi look that monsters always have in the Metroid games. Honestly I can't find anything that really stands out as bad, so an 8/10 for you!
