Green with Envy

Postby exixst » Mon Mar 17, 2014 3:55 pm

This has absolutely nothing to do with St. Patrick's day. Oh well.

Felt like playing with dramatic lighting, so I gave it a shot. I had intended the shadows to be darker, but they kept getting too dark, so I just had to go with it.
Those scales were the death of me. I swear, my poor fingers now hurt to bend. But it's okay, because it's done, and I think I did pretty well!
Everything is green; the background is a very, very dark shade of green, the teeth/spikes are a very pale shade of green, and the scales are also a very dark shade of green. Never once did I go completely white or black. Which was an interesting challenge.
Don't ask me what's going on here, I have no idea. The title? Made up on a whim. The necklace? I haven't got a clue what it stands for. That random green light? Could be luminescent toxic waste for all I know/care.

Thank you for any comments or critique that you may have! It's all greatly appreciated! ^_^

Edit: 3/17 - Adding some lighting to certain scales, and shaded a little more.
