Painted Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis pictus). It was amazing how the blue scale coloration seemed to magically appear and disappear as the snake breathed! (For a video, go here.) Nghệ An Province, Vietnam.

Day 14: Favorite poison type. I was thinking about drawing Bulbasaur for this one, but then I remembered that I also love those poison bunnies.

This is special to me. A concept design that has been a long time coming, for a really awesome (and patient) friend. They gave me some loose ideas, critters, colors, and general inspiration then let me do my thing. There have been many differing passes, which I will share later for completions sake.

The creature is very loosely inspired by the dragon on the Ishtar gate. The snake is the actual body while the rest is manifested out of its own essence. I feel it would have a vaguely leonine body when quadruped, but stay simple, only forming things as needed.

Black scales, gold filigree, burning soul.
