Ta-da.
I hate the wings and absolutely cannot figure out what to do with the shading on them. And the crystals on the limbs look pasted on. And it's a bit monochromatic. But I like the head, the pose and the new design.
Basically: while all three dragons are fundamentally bipedal in that their hind legs are stronger than the forelimbs and they can naturally stand upright, they differ in how they prefer to position themselves while at rest. Thunderyu doesn't like using his legs at all, so he generally glides. Volcaryu stands upright on his bulky legs, ready to use his strong arms to attack. Polaryu, on the other hand, prefers to stay relatively horizontal compared to the other two, often letting his forelimbs support his upper body.
I might add more crystals and do something with the wings, so I wouldn't consider it quite finished yet, but I'd love some input.
Also, I dare you to even attempt to guess what sprite I used as a vague reference for the pose (in the same way as I used the original sprites for Thunderyu and Volcaryu). It is obviously not Polaryu's old sprite.
