A piece that started out as face and focused lighting practice from and evolved into a bird/lizardlike thing for no real reason. I don't think about these things too much, really. The light focus isn't perfect but I tried.
Painter 9, 10 or so hours over the past few days.

Some of the anatomy bothers me, such as the bowing/angle of the upper arm and that the neck feels rubbery to me in its movement.... but I have problems even remembering those factors when I see such neat color lighting.
I really like this, even if I don't like some of those anatomical issues.
The details in this would be amazing in lighter colors but to be able to do them in the darker tones is mind blowing...fantastic lighting and imagination.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

I really like this, even if I don't like some of those anatomical issues.
In that regard, good work!

If, for instance,
One sunny morning god disappeared and everyone went crazy,
I'd take a picture in rememberance.
