Look up dragons on pixiv and you get amazing art like in the op
but look up eastern style dragons on deviantart and you get some weird dog hybrid lizard snake things ripped straight out of Spirited Away
Hell, why are Asian artists in general better at drawing/designing dragons better then the pasty white scalies/furries that fap to them in the states?
Most people don't know how to use pixiv and thus mostly click in top rated pictures.

After a year of Japanese class and forgetting everything besides some basic reading, I find it easy enough to copy pasta the actual text from wikipedia pages and shit and go from there

There is bucketloads of trash on Pixiv.
This meme that Pixiv is some flawless bastion of good amateur art needs to fucking die already.

the worst of pixiv is still better than the worst of deviantart
unforunately, now we're having a bunch of shitty weaboos flooding pixiv with their shitty art
seriously, few things are more cringe worthy than a white weaboo from "johnsonville Wisconsin" attempting to draw anime after they found some random volume of Naruto in their public library
also, compare the first results you see when you type in dragon on deviantart versus the katakana for dragon on pixiv

i mean the most popular results for dragon on pixiv versus the most popular on deviantart and furaffinity(pretty much a given, seeing that furries have pretty shit taste in art in general)

I always thought dragons originated from Europe and East.

Projecting your own racism.

Deviantart is fucking trash compared to every other western art website too though. If you look through Artstation you'll pretty much find an even mix of good western and eastern artists.
