Description
"Calmly lumbering through the forest and scaling the mountains, this dragon represents strength and patience. Steadfast as the mountain, gentle as the grassy meadows, patient as a tree, devastating as an avalanche. His voice is the rustling sigh of the trees, the groaning of an earthquake, the rumble of a landslide, the grating screech of stone rubbing against itself...A creature of patience, stubborn and immovable, yet reliable and gentle.
He is the Dragon of the Earth."

*wipes sweat from forehead* Glad to have THAT out of the way. I must apologize for the delay, but I have good reasons for it:
(1. My computer was acting up and I didn't want to risk losing anything important if it shut down on me.
(2. I needed to make sure the background looked just right, and (3. the layers were giving me trouble.
Any-who, as if it wasn't obvious by this point, this is Clay when he's using my Fan-Wu, the Essence of the Soul. While all Chinese dragons can fly regardless of their elemental powers, I chose to draw him standing for the sole reason that Clay would prefer being on the ground. If he doesn't have to (or need to), why should he move?
Like with Kimiko, the colors gave me problems. Trying to color his main body green or grey didn't end well, so I settled on brown. The plates of his underbelly and the 'spines' on his back are meant to resemble stone, while the all the fur is supposed to reflect grass. I think the crystals on his shoulders and tail are self-explanatory.

I'm really sorry for the Watermark, but I worry someone might steal my pictures.
Alright then, comments please!

FINALLY! 
Thank you for the compliments. Glad you like it.
...what do you think of the background? First time having planned a background for my pictures.
The other three dragons don't count;
My Wind Dragon? Never planned on it having a background.
Water Dragon? Half-hearted attempt.
Fire Dragon? Determined attempt.
For Clay here I planned the background, so what do you think?

I like it. He's standing on a cliff that faces the mountains right? It's very pretty. I like how the mountains and forest are kind of blurry, suggesting distance, and the earth and grass in the foreground is more detailed
