Draw This Again - Black Dragon of Lunar

So I wanted to try the "Draw This Again" meme that recently spawned into a contest hosted by deviantart.

I tried looking for anything interesting to draw from my past drawings, but none of them really stand out. None of them are really posed or anything and most of them were done as just quick designs. So in the end I went with my design of the Black Dragon from the Lunar comic I used to do a long time ago.

Here's the original design:

And this is the redraw/redesign:

I realise it almost looks nothing like the original xD but oh well. I just wanted to make it look cooler with a pose and a sweeter design rather than just a simple update. Looks like a mix between a japanese and native american warrior now. This is actually how I wanted him to look like back in the day, but didn't have the imagination to pull the design off.
