I wanted to see how I went with all of the studies I had learned. I started out with a skeletal prop of what I wanted, then rendered in my head what the skin looked like over the skeleton. I then followed this colour tutorial which amazingly made it so much easier for clean colours. I now understand how so many of you guys are able to do it.

I then copied the colour work / design interpretation of pikajotas ender dragon. Idk why but I love his interpretation so much, something about going into another portal and not having to worry about anything else in life seems to be really relaxing as a husbando concept. (in my headcanon he is male not female as well ;))

overall I'm really happy as I'm starting to really understand the dynamics of how it all works together. Creature design, skeletal work, colour work. I'm getting closer and closer to being able to express myself in a way in that I can desire the creation of something and make it real.
