Started coloring this directly after I inked it and finished it just now. I am quite happy with the results. The shading looks a little better and smoother than the others. I mostly tried to add in the markings for shading so it doesn't look like it was just slapped on. Sorry if some parts, especially around the outside, looks a little transparent. I like to cheat and use the feather tool to get rid of most of the background after the scan because it's all dark and blah. It's my lazy tool XD!

So this, as I said with the uploaded inked version, is the last of the Serai species, the Air Serai. This is a female, but I don't have a name for her yet lol.

A couple facts about the Air Serai
The Air Serai is the smallest of the Serai species. Males reach up to 12 feet at the shoulder, whereas females only reach 10ft. Their length is incredibly long, almost doubling their total body length. This is all tail. From the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail, males reach up to 60 feet. Females reach a length of about 55 feet. Their length doesn't differ much. Air Serai are the only Serai, other than the Master Elemental that can fly. As with all the others, they do not contain wings. Most believe that they merely manipulate the air currents around them that gives them the ability to "float". Some just believe that they contain powerful magic that gives them this ability but most go with the latter. Air Serai have very smooth and sleek bodies, which probably helps for aerodynamics while flying. Their skin in leathery but very smooth and soft to the touch. All males and females are silver in color, however, they have stripped, swirly markings along the length of their body. All markings are different from one another, makign them a very unique species. The colors of the markings are what tells apart the sexes the easiest other than size. A males' markings colors are a dark blue, while a females' are a very light blue. A short a thin mane that runs from the top of their heads down to the end of their tail which fans out to a larger tuff. The colors of these can differ a little. Females are usually an aqua to an azure which almost always has black or white stripes in them down along to the end. Males are always solid and can be a slightly lighter color of blue than their markings to even solid black.

Hope it looks alright, and again any helpful critique is always welcome ^^.
