	*Originally posted by BathMaster_2000* You could boost the contrast on the piece to make it more readable... it took me a while to see the mouth. Fair point I guess. I changed the face a little to give a stronger suggestion of fangs. However, my main excuse for largely leaving the contrast as is: Doom palette's reds are notorius for dipping quickly into brown if made too dark, via the game's colormap (or sprite/texture lighting map). If I included the darkest reds (which aren't very dark) to add contrast, he would quickly become brown when present in anything but the brightest lit areas. I suppose he's trying harder to be a dynamic in-game monster than a bells & whistles concept. Final submission: Final, final submission! Reworked the scales on his lower half's back, to help the horizontal animation direction: Edited by Splurge - 15 December 2014 at 3:29pm

I like what you did do with the face, though, with the mandible-looking things (which I presume you describe as "fangs"). You don't have to change anything about it, it looks good as it is right now (in my opinion).

	*Originally posted by skamocore* Nice idea, but the max canvas is 128 x 128. I don't know how did I miss that. Is it accepted to edit the submission during the voting period?
