I said some time ago in the comments of one of my Status updates that I would draw my own take on the Gen 5 dragons, so here it is. I had like 2 pictures to base the design from, but it is close enough.
I still don't like their design, I didn't like drawing it. I realize that the eye could be smaller, it looks quite odd, but to be fully honest, I don't care enough to fix it, or to even sign my name on this thing
The design sucks, I will not be drawing more of these, ever, I'll stay in bipedal dragons and more dragon based dragons, thanks.

It's not really even the amount of legs, we had 4 legged dragons in G4, in fact, how I understood it from what I remember, was that the dragons were bipedal until certain size, after which they became more traditional dragons, be it still with more bipedal build.
SpoilerBut it's the design in general I don't like, because the new one is less a dragon and more a dragon-pony, and with Spike coming back, it connects it to be the same dragons, thus rising the question, what in the god's green earth happened? What caused the dragons' fingers and toes turn into those hoof/elephant foot things that the new design has?
Some theorized/head-cannoned that it's because dragons and ponies got...closer, making the future generations hybrids, but then there's Spike, what happened to that poor guy? did he fall into a nuclear reactor or something? And like, we already had older Spike
Spoilerand the funny thing is, my despise of these new dragons have actually nothing to do with MLP, I haven't watched G5, and while I compare them to G4 dragons, that isn't really the problem for me. The problem for me comes from me being a dragon fan in general, I like dragons, I collect dragon themed things and so on, I have seen and seek out different styles of dragons, and the G5 dragons are, up to this point, the worst take on dragons I've seen.
I'm fine with hybrids, hay, I have made few myself, but these official designs look more like trying to make a dragon out of pony mold, which is probably exactly what happened here, since it's cheaper than making actual designs.
Though I do admit that the new design is scarier than the old one, these faces haunt my nightmares.
