Serpent Red

      

scales will legit be the death of me lmao

okay so there's this website that gives you random art prompts and ideas, and I've been using it for a week or two now because it's pretty helpful when I have no ideas and it gives some pretty interesting prompts. One prompt it gave me was a serpent-like red dragon, and since it's been awhile since I've done a dragon, I was like why the fuck not lmao I went the kind of sort of not so easy route and went with an oriental dragon. I've always had a hard time getting oriental dragons to look right but I think this guy turned out pretty nice. I was originally going to make his hair black but just when with a darker red since black and red is overdone a lot lol and I gave him a gold belly just to add some pizazz. I worked REALLY hard on the scales, and while my hand still hurts I think it paid off a bit lmao totally worth it. I forgot how much I loved doing dragons. I do these serpent like dragons more often than not so I'll have to start doing some different dragons as well.

Be sure to let me know what you guys think and as always, constructive criticism is always welcomed!!
