Commission - Narissilyn

Taking a break from his feathery characters, this time a bust commission for Vangarthia of his dragon Narissilyn, who's looking rather saucy if I do say so myself :V  I've never felt comfortable doing scales or metallic dragons, so I took the opportunity to see what I could do if I really, really tried :b  Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with how she turned out   Turns out, the trick to really nice looking scales is to just stop trying to cut corners XD

Adobe Photoshop CS5 - I'd say how long it took, but I don't want Vangarthia to know, haha.  Longer than it was supposed to :b
