this one was pretty tedious to shade and i still am not totally happy with it. one concrete thing i dislike is her eyes, i wish they were more lizard-like, but unfortunately trying to draw them as longer slits and/or with less sclera ended up looking pretty bad. i think this was just that i'm not great at small detailed pixeling around the size of her eyes though. the other main issue i see is that i probably could/should have gone further with the texturing in some areas. maybe, anyway.

all that said, this was an ambitious project for me, and i think the result is one of my most technically impressive pieces (at least when judged by me), so i don't think the stuff i'm not happy with matters that much.

i'm happy i actually finished it too -- between when i started it and when i completed it there was a long time when it stayed in my WIP folder because i was too intimidated to try pixeling the shading on the tail.
