Description
'Nother large one. Hit the download button for a crisp/clear image if you need to!Christmas gift for ~dragontrap of her Amuse! I picked the dragon version, since obviously she has scales. And I like scales.
You've had so many hardships fall into your lap this year and previous, I sincerely hope things start to look up for you in the next year. You keep on truckin' though, and you have friends who are rootin' for the best. Hope all is well, and hope you have a happy holiday.
----------
I'll be posting one piece of gift art each day for the next few days up to the 1st of January, aka NEW YEAR (Or at least try to)! I still have a few to finish up, so posting times may be irregular. It feels good to properly ink again!
Thanks to all of my lovelies who hung out with me in my stream for couple nights while I slaved away on this. For some reason this was the LONGEST one out of the batch. I have no idea why. It was fun, guys. <3
Tools Used (from start to finish):
Photoshop CS, Wacom Intuos 3

Another AWESOME ANNE MOMENT brought to you by AWESOME ANNE!
Thanks for joining the stream, beb, it was so insanely fun having all of you guys to chat with while I was working. Not to mention you guys kept me focused, otherwise I would've been dancing around the internet looking at my order of gryphon pages like the nerd I am. XD Or reading GFAQS for an hour. UGH.
So thank you!
I turn into a robot when it comes to scaling, and coloring scales, they seem to become part of some sort of assembly line. Or maybe that's the crazy talking. I'll let you decide!

I have NO idea how you can have all the patience to do those scales D: And they look so glossy and shiny like... like glass! o:
I wonder why so many people are doing the non-elastic wings nowadays, though, they look kinda... like plastic-bags.

Thanks Tero! The chest looks like a piece of glass to me, probably the dark bands intermixing with the lighter colors coupled with those highlights on top. >>a
I hope my wings don't look like plastic bags XDDD

The chest looks glassy indeed. Not sure whether you think that's a good or a bad thing but I kinda like it, it's like the pieces of glass you find around after a fire, that are all dark and feel slightly rougher than usual.
Only in small spots where they seem to have very thick folds that are also strongly highlighted(mainly the elbow-area). They kind of make it seem like the wing-membrane wasn't as elastic at some points.

This is so awesome!
The scales are outstanding. You must have saint-like patience to finish all of them and make each one so very detailed. I know I would have given up after the face and maybe the neck. >>
Thanks for linking to the texture site on livestream too! I'm totally going to check it out sometime because textures == automatically awesome background.

Thanks for joining the stream, Pash. It was an awesome party we all had goin' last night. XD
I was commenting to Allison when I was drawing the scales -- they seem to end up becoming part of an 'assembly' line; I turn into some sort of scaling robot. >_>; And no problem! Which reminds me, I need to add the website to the descriptions (oops!). c:
