Description Finished version of this guy that I made for ~Crystal-Nova 's elemental dragon series. This is the Gravity Dragon, a massive, wingless reptile that lives in subterranean caverns and feeds off of flourescent mushrooms. For size reference, each mushroom is about as tall as a person.

This took ages, but it was worth it. Although I still managed to slaughter it with my nonexistant ability in shading, I learned a lot about lighting which will hopefully help in the future. Its feet were annoying, though--that reversed-thumb concept I used makes its legs look twisted or broken. XD

Just got the chance to comment

Nice work here, its kinda scary looking and its eating ratio active mushrooms and its all tunneled down in the ground, but hey it looks good. How did you get the muchrooms to glow they look nifty!

I used Overlay layers to make it progressively brighter as it neared the middle. Then another Overlay layer behind it made the glow on the edges.

Yar, it is similar, although Bulette is a lot more stubby.
