Snakewoman on a throne

[LORD M]

This is something I made after browsing around a couple of hours looking through the works of Frazetta, so it is heavily Frazetta inspired. It took some days to make and I felt I learned a lot, especially when it comes to values which I have been focusing on lately.

I would love to get any kind of feedback on my art and how to improve in the future, I appreciate it all.

Very cool piece. Loving the mouth statues especially!

The shading is good and the autonomy seems well defined on the face and body.

I'd be interesting in seeing a painting with some more figures too!(though just one is fine)

wow, the rendering on the chest area is amazing ! Love the shiny effect
The rest of the illustration is awesome as well ;D

[LORD M]

Wow thanks for the comments guys! It makes me really glad it is liked!

Pavel Sokov - Thanks! About the mouth statues, I thought "Adventure Time" when I made them. It's a great and inspiring cartoon if anyone is interested.

anendlessvoyager - It's in my plans!

It is beautiful. The scale effect doesn't look very real, though. And the scales look more like fish scales than reptile or snake scales. If you really want to go for a genuine serpentine look, you should use some reference for the snake scales. I guess that all comes down to what kind of stylization you're going for. Realistic vs. cartoon-like. And snake/reptile scales vs. fish scales or kind of leafy scales that look painted on or tattoo-like. One thing many artists struggle with in these Naga/Lamia/snake demon characters is the transition from skin to scales. That's not really an issue with this image because your scales look kind of tattooed on.

btw, I was holding my 8 1/2 ft. pet boa constrictor just a few hours ago, and of course, admiring her iridescent scales.
