>Front legs look much fattier and are facing inwardThat's actually on purpose. It was originally meant to look like a bulldog, which is also what that exaggerated bottom lip supposed to emulate, but some things got kind of lost in translation as I decided to make it more and more "regal". The dimorphism is based on it's origin; guardian lions come in pairs, a male and a female each representing different things. I took the lion bit more literally, giving the male more of a mane where the female wouldn't have one. I felt the same about the colors but couldn't figure a way to remedy that without making it too cluttered or over designed. The original had these ambiguous swirls here and more bronze "armor" but it just looked wrong to me. I'll play with the colors you suggested some more. Typing is pure dragon, non-legendary. I just really like the idea of a dragon type not being a literal dragon, stupid as that sounds.
