I'm usually not super critical on first passes of line art for these re-vamps, but the ny'vene is my favourite so naturally I've got some comments.

Hatchlings:
- I.. kind of despise the hatchling faces. The noses remind me of MLP and that's not a good thing.
- Also not fond of the poses.
- Or the eyelashes on the baby girl.
- The male hatchling's head might not need that jaw line.
- Not sure about that wobbly webbing for their ears.

Adults:
- The knees on the males look like a bit too much. Those are some intense folds. I get that it's a recurring thing (eyebrows, nose, wings) but it doesn't feel right on the knees right now.
- I'm assuming the wing line art will be modified. Right now where it connects on their body doesn't make sense. It's like the bottom of the wings completed ignores the hips and tail. Not sure how to fix that, and really I don't have too much time to spend critiquing this (or drawing over these lines) so I'll just say that it's not looking quite right just yet.
- The male's head doesn't need those lines to separate the head from his ears.
- The male's neck may be a little too thick.

Overall (and despite all of my comments) I think they look fantastic!

Gorgeous! Though the lump on the back of the male's neck throws me off a little, and I am curious as to why I can see the back through the lower wings, I love them otherwise :) I might slim down the baby bellies although plump is quite cute (just not my style, but it fits the species!) very well dawn!

oh I love the adults but the babies' faces seem like they could use a bit of work o: they look a little cartoonish and childish

wow! they're really have a wow factor to them, very fierce dragons :D
I just feel the male's wing seem to be a bit awkward. it doesn't seem to be quite proportional or maybe the angling... i'm so sorry, i don't know how to draw very well so i don't really know.... >.<

But overall they're probably the coolest species ever :)

These took great but I think that the hatchling's noses need to be a little smaller :)

Not sure how I feel about this, since ny'venes are one of my favourite species, and I'm very attached to them....

I have to say the detailed artwork is nice, and I'm glad the fierceness is retained, and even increased in the case of the females. Really like the cuteness fierceness of the babies. But there are some things that doesn't sit very right with me.

-The adult male's neck
I think the male's neck is too thick, it seems disproportionate to the head. The difference is really obvious when compared to the female's.

-The adult male's body
I think the male's body can be bulked up a bit more. As compared to the tail and the overall look, it seems a little too slim.

-The adult female's wings
The way her wings bend down feels very awkward. When compared to the baby female, or if I try to imagine the adult male with bent wings, the extended part of the wings seems too long and bent. I don't know. Something about it makes the wings feel awkward and flimsy.


Otherwise, I think I just need time to get over my attachment to the old look, to really appreciate the improvements in the new one. =P

Thanks for all your hard work! ^^
