Dennis: Actually, what I tried to do (and I see it doesnt look so much like it now, hehe) is to make the legs very spread apart. But I forgot to throw in a shadow on the top of the "hip", cast by the body. The underbelly scales should be almost completely black, too. Ill work on it some more.
Yep, this piece has decent highlights but it seems to have inconsistent lightsource(s). Maybe it's supposed to have more than one lightsource though, however if that is the case then i don't understand why lighting on the leg is so bright, while the whole side of the creature is totally dark... but maybe the skin of the creature is just totally light-absorbing, while the rough pieces on the leg are reflecting, same for the ripples on its back. That little oddness aside it is well crafted. 4/6
