Description

Shout out to hibbary for her awesome watercolor papers she has let everyone use. This one is a highly edited version of her paper from one of her packs. 
Like... it is just the outline of the brush strokes. STILL, it is a nice effect

This was like 50% experiment inspired by something I found on tumblr. More painterly. More refined. I made a whole new brush for her scale reflections. Also I added a blue shine to her scales since I have had that idea forever but never managed to convey it well. But now I can 8D

This took me roughly 10 hours. Maybe. I stretched it out over a few days.

Oh my, it surely does look pretty amazing!
Specially dig dem horns which looks rather realistic.
And those scales.....
:icondatassplz:

I also like the shade of pink you used for the interior of the nose.
People tend to just shade that black entirely.
