The main reason why I chose dragon is because I had drawn a lot of them in my spare time without even thinking, and for dragons to lose this poll would've decreased the chances of my soon-to-be-submitted artwork from being popular. If given three more choices total, I would have voted chimera/alchemical creatures, undead, and firebirds.

HOWEVER, I'm quite pissed that "demons" was not included in the list because I would have voted for that hands down.

Also, another great possibility could've been "just plan ol' warriors/knights"

Our last poll was based on well known Fantasy humanoid races, and this poll was based on well known Mythological Creatures. There will be more polls in the future.

Demons fall more into Mythologies Deities and Demigods, rather than simply a mythical creature. Also Demons can fall into Theology as well, as some belief systems believe that demons do very much exist.

Very true. I guess it didn't occur to me at the time. Well, I hope there will be a future contest with demons included as an option.
And I wasn't even part of this group to see the last poll so... sorry about the ignorant-appearing question. :P

Dragons :D
Dragon are one of the few iconic figured that are known ALLL Over the world. Every culture has SOME form of dragon. Its also one of the images recognized early by children. A child might have a hard time recognizing a circle vs a square at first, but once you tell them what a dragon is, they rairly forget :D

...and Im known as the "Dragon Lady" in my show circuit...its just what i paint :P

Dragons win by default. Why? They are the very essence of my soul, it would be unnatural for me not to pick them :) Ok not a real good reason i know, hm... hows about this: Dragons can come in such a variety sometimes its hard to keep up ^^ we have small ones no bigger than a human hand or they can be gigantic and as big as mountains, sometimes bigger. They come in a variety of different colors, styles and designs. They are both feared and loved, awed and crucified. Many are depicted as intelligent sentient beings, sometime misunderstood, sometimes just down right nasty. I like dragons because i feel i can relate to them in many ways, that humans in general are a lot like them too, just sometimes people forget about it :) i mean its easy to when you're comparing a tiny, fragile human to say a large, armor-scaled fire breathing dragon lol!

But dragons still get my vote. Every other creature in the poll is nice, but for me dragons are it, whether they win this poll or lose, they'll still win in my heart ^_^

From which point of view? If you asked what I like to draw the most, answering would be a bit difficult. All are way too awesome to just ignore and not to draw them... :) However, if I had to pick one I'd definitely pick dragons. I cannot tell you the reason for it, but since the time I first held a pencil correctly I've drawn dragons. Dragons are cool.

I love half-human and half-beast creatures, specially if they are half women.
Cute and dangerous, 2 in 1.
