While idling before playing Pathfinder tonight, I found myself feeling serpentine. which turned into this:
I wasn’t sure about adding the scales at first, but I know that they’re supposed to be there. In hindsight, I should have made them rounder, but I didn’t have my past sketches for reference.
The thing that excites me most about this sketch is the face, particularly the Epic Beard. It’s not a Two-Part Poseable Beard like some Greek gods are known to have, but I was really into drawing it, though I was mildly afraid that it would not look as cool in practice as it did in my head.
You know I can’t get enough of experimental dragons; this guy is great.
Epic is exactly right. I particularly love the shading at the tips of his beard.
