How rude, playing with his food like that.
In my universe Naga are pretty much like the Romans but they engage in a lifestyle of conquest, violence, excess and debauchery that would make the most lewd Romans squirm in discomfort. They're basically the douche bags of the world.
Sketched this yesterday, toned it this morning :3

That is.. if you hadn't illustrated the break-up of the scales to make way for the flesh, the viewer, upon seeing the continuing patterning with no break in the smooth hide of the coils, might have assumed that his scales just continued all the way up, covering his whole body.
Anyway, in general: I love this piece! :D Part of what I love about snakes is their flexibility, so something like this that shows that off so prominently and casually (that is, it appears to be quite natural and easy for him to make that 'loop-de-loop', as it were).. is all kinds of awesome. Also, I enjoy the patterning/colouration that continues upwards onto his torso.. as well as the few serpentine features on his head/face.
And, of course, the coils are really REALLY well done.
The whole reason for this picture in the first place was because of that flexibility you mentioned. I wanted to draw something like that and a naga fit the bill. I've always imagined them to view having a spine as more of a suggestion than an anatomical fact xD
Again thanks for the comment!
I noticed after I wrote my comment, that you had said on your profile/front page that you love flexible types, so it was all the more clear as to why you did this one.
I wonder if you'll end up going for some kind of invertebrate person next, like a slug.. or is flexibility only impressive when there actually is a skeleton to defy?
Oh, and as nicely flexible as snakes are, I think eels might show it off all the better in their normal day-to-day activities.
And yes I'd rather there be a skeleton involved. I like showing just how far the anatomy can be pushed. Might go into some more crazy contortionist stuff with my work soon.
I almost said sharks, too! (which would seem to be personally related to me, thanks to my sharky icon, but I'm actually normally sporting a more naga-centric look :}===< )
Speaking of crazy contortionist art.. did you ever see that Yuni/Jahi guy's (or gal's) art?
HNG...Is awesome. I have a big soft spot for Nagas even though...yeah they are douche bags lol.
Seeing this makes me wanna pick up my Naga character. So Much love I cant wait to see more :>
Linkers lol: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1219944/
SHe shortened the snake part a lot....its actually much longer. He has tanned skin and golden hair. I havn't really developed a pattern for his scales Oh wellz :<
I am deff gonna pick him back up now and start adding more stuff to him. YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME lol
I can't wait to see more or your Naga too!
Yay for picking up naga characters again! Seriously there needs to be more of them on FA. This boy, however, I actually need to -finish.- Much of his design is not set in stone and he doesn't even have a name yet OTL
Yeah, I feel you about the design thing, I wanna rehash out Mot sometime soon. SOON SOON!!!! THEY WILL BE FINISHED lol :>
