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

Any kind of light source is tricky in my case.

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.

They were a pain to color, though.

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