A sudden commission from
goldblaze for their friend Darrkone999. This is a ref sheet of
Slifureyes 's feathered dragon character, Skanard. This was a huge learning experience - you don't see dragons with extensive body feathers most of the time, and I had to do some research to attempt to not make them look like hair or scales - they're a curious mix of both, hehe! XD I'm also getting a better hang on gold coloration and how tricky it can be. Thanks, Goldblaze!
Also, this commission would not be worth what I appraised it for ($50 with the two poses) if I knew how obsessed I'm become with it, ha! This whole thing would be more worth around the $100 range, maybe even $120. Lesson learned: I obsess over detail! XP
Photoshop CS5, maybe about 18-20 hours

Thank you for explaining it to me ^^ I really appreciate it! <3 I have to admit seeing the progress made from one image to another is awfully insightful and entertaining, though :D
Take care!
