Description
Finally the second one in the series! This one was tough to start, since I really wanted to get it right xD Basilisks are one of my favourite mythical creatures.. ever. So I wanted to do it justice.Yeah I drew and shaded all those scales individually o_o I'm dumb. But patient.
Anyway, here's some info about Basilisks!
A Basilisk is a "King of Serpents" in various European legends. What kind of abilities it has varies between the different legends, but it usually has poisonous bite (or breath) and their trademark killing glare. It sometimes has a crown or jewel on it's head, but in my version I replaced them with spikes. The Basilisk is often confused with the Cockatrice, which has many of the same abilities but is a mix between a rooster and a snake.
Its mortal enemy is the weasel.
I livestreamed some of the process here!: www.livestream.com/xeikkeiu

God, you're really patient indeed! All those scale! I'm impressed that you drew all of them. ^^ And I think the result overall is really nice. I can see you put a lot of effort into this one.
The only thing that I can feedback on otherwise is that maybe the stomach scales down in the middle at the bend should have a different angle. Nicely done!
