I don't think they stole your idea. There are numerous design differences. It's difficult to see many defining characteristics in your image due to the low detail level, but let's compair and contrast.

For this comparison, I'll refer to your Ancient Dragon as AD and social point's Demon Dragon as DD just so I don't have to type those names a million times.

AD is red with blue and purple accents while DD is mostly red with lots of yellow.

AD has a similar texture on his chest and body, while DD has very distinct yellow plates running down his entire underside.

AD has spikes on his neck while DD has a yellow mane and only features spikes on his legs and arms.

AD has a torso like a horse (long straight front legs) while DD is built more like a pitbull (broad chest, low to the ground, bowed elbows).

AD's wings are rooted between the spine and shoulder blade  while DD's are on the shoulder itself.

AD has a long slender neck while DD's neck is much more stout.

DD has very pronounced jaw spikes and a 'goatee' spike comming down from the chin, along with bull horns. AD has a slim face and horns like a goat (arguably more symbolic of demons than bull horns but that's not the point).

There is one feature that is identical in both dragons, and that would be the pointy 'devil tail'. That alone however is not enough to argue that they used your idea. Any other similar features are common to many generic dragons, such as wings, claws, big teeth, etc.

In addition to differences in appearance,

I think it's really cool that you've created several of your own dragons and taken the time to share them with the world. I'm not usually brave enough to share my artwork like that. I suggest that you keep working at it. You may have luck with a more maleable medium like pencil or charcoal (smearing pencil with your thumb is a great way to do shading).

Unfortunately, I have to say that the demon dragon is not based on your ancient dragon. It's also very possible that social point is unaware of the existance of Dragon City Fannon.

Sorry. Nice site though.
