did you change the file to itself to dodge the size issue yet?

....huh? i have no idea how to do this. my files usually aren't terribly larger than FA's limits anyway, so i completely forgot about the limits till /after/ I uploaded.

theres a link to the dA version now.

click change file, on this page. then click browse and lick the same file/picture that it was before. that is what i ment by changing the file to itself.

oooh! those look good!

the only thing i'd suggest is put the scratches/notches on the belly scales on both sides, not just the one :)

Glad i could help you ^^

Haha, yeah I was just needing a basic idea where to go with the big ole plates under the tummy like this one.
Since I been making dragons as of late for adoptables, I am always looking for ways to make it looks better. :3
