Kind of underwater dragon which naga use for waging war. We'll see if I ever get this one colored...

Pretty cool, but the tail needs more shadows, it doesn't have and its a strange...contrast...
But i really like,
...looking for the colored version.

Pretty cool but it's not very detailed. The only thing that shows this animal as a naga is its tail and head.

It evolved while I was drawing it. That would explain the anti-naga look. And it's meant to be simple with as low details as possible. Trying that kinda style while most of my works seem to concentrate on details.

Thanks for feedback!

The drawing isn't bad. The minimalism can work well if the forms are correct, and in this case they are for the most part. The anatomy on the chest could have used a little more attention. Also, putting more empty space above him might help the composition, as it was somewhat wanting when coloring him in his preferred environment.

The coloring is good, I like the textures. However, the monochromaticity (barring the green) detracts from it, and the textures and colors used makes him look encased in ice to me. Another thing to consider is the lighting; under water it very rarely comes from a direction other than straight above. I really like the ruins in the back; good detail there,

I did a quick coloring to show what it could look like if he were meant to be in deep water.

The water could have used more work on my part, but I think you can see how this color set might communicate water better.

Good work on the whole. Keep it up.

Just a quick test/practice, but does this seem better for underwater color scheme? Itäs just some kind of snake, shape is not issue here, color/reflection is.. And the bottom is quickly made sea bottom, not waves ...

Trying to learn something :)

Really great creature. I think it comes off as very Naga-esque. The first coloring job is pretty good, making it seem like the creature is perched in some foggy Night Elf ruin along the coast. Ogre's coloring job is excellent; it really appears as if the beast is sitting on the ocean's floor. The lighting is really great in that pic.

I think that sprung from this book I'm reading, it's titled "Atlantis - The Lost Coninent" :D

And yes, Ogre's coloring is both, great and very very welcome.
