Hi, i'm a beginner concept artist (you will notice that), i technically never made an art asset before, but i had this simple idea of a game character whos kinda like a dragon-humanoid thingy with like these small wings that he got instead of bigger wings due to a curse or something which i had the need to draw it (even though i'm really bad at drawing), its a simple concept art, i made everything clear at the .png file below, which i drew on a small piece of paper, then i drew it again on my computer (using my mouse), anyway, i need someone to make a (better) concept art for this character which i made (which i will then proceed to model and animate etc.) sorta like a remake of my concept.
Thank you.
-Manny.

Well,your drawing looks rough indeed,but it's OK as you are just a beginner.
Try to draw more clearly at some important parts.If you have no idea of the look,you may search some references on the Internet.
Learning from others is always a good way to improve you own skills.

How much are you willing to pay ?i need someone to make a (better) concept art for this character which i made (which i will then proceed to model and animate etc.) sorta like a remake of my concept.
Other than that I would invest time in learning concept art. Here are some starting hints:
1. Buy a book about learning drawing (you will get some for 10-20$)
2. Work from references.
3. Practise,practise and after this you still need to practise alot.
4. Creature concept 101: learn to make concepts from existing animals first, then try to combine different aspects of animals into the design/concept of your own creature (->reference).

I taught a free character design class at Deviant Art a few months ago, the lectures and assignments from it are still available for anyone to read: http://deviantart-academy.deviantart.com/gallery/34014800
Also, mine was the advanced class, if it seems to complex you can look for the lessons from the other instructor(s) who taught a non-advanced section.

For a very reasonable fee I am available as a freelance design consultant, editor, or ghostwriter. PM me if interested.
I have a general interest in 1. games involving pet breeding or farming, and 2. interactive story romance. If you'd like to discuss one of these you may PM me.
