Really digging how you opted to handle the scales and flesh here! The metallic portions really come across well, and the more fleshy areas have a real volume to them. Great work!

Holycrap that looks absolutely amazing. It's always so fantastic to lay your eyes on something you haven't seen before, the design of this creature looks so original and the textures and lighting gives of a very renaissance painting look to it. It is expertly executed, really inspirational to see! Thank you for sharing :D

Wow, very detailed! The texture is amazing and your values are so well-placed! Those scales on the back are my fav part!

I'm trying to learn how to paint in classical oil painting style, especially baroque and Dutch golden age for so long, and this piece just has exactly the qualities I'm aiming for.

If you have a few moments to spare, may I ask if you have any general advice? I feel that there is about both the lighting and the brushwork that's critical to get this result. Are you using layers to imitate scumbling and glazing?
