Becoming a Dragon [Zuko Fanart]

Edit:

Alrighty, I finished digitally inking the blasted thing. The dragon's whiskers will be drawn in once I decide on a frame.

I need to stop drawing Zuko because the poor boy gets enough attention as it is (but mostly because he is the only Avatar character I've ever attempted). The trailer clips featuring a dragon and Zuko inspired me to draw a similar, albeit boring portrait.

As you can see, I am a very messy sketcher--you can hardly see some parts (his ears, for example)--but these will all be fixed once it's cleaned up and inked.

The sketch can be found here.

Obviously I want a frame (dragon whiskers surpassing said frame), but I don't know if I want it to be flame-shaped, square or something else. Any suggestions?

P.s. (Sort of) One day, I'll try action poses! =D

That pic is beautiful!!! I cannot believe that no one else has commented. It's great, I love it!! Are you planning on adding color? That would be sweet!!! Thank you for sharing that, it wonderful!

Thank you for looking. =D
I will colour it, but it might take a while due to end of semester issues. When it is finished, though, I will post the final version.

Side Note:
If anyone else wishes to colour it, send me a PM and I will give you a larger version (this one is scaled down so it will nicely fit on the board). The only rules I have are to leave my name on it (which I will place in a better location), and let me see the finished product. ^^

Ooh this is lovely! The dragon looks really nice and I love Zuko's expression
