hahah, yeah something like that, a little more other small bits from other desert lizard species but those are the core parts. pretty much just warping and and overlaying things so they fit the contours of the concept sketch.

COOL. That is so neat. I love that it's an iguana, not the long-necked ones you usually see. Great job! 8D

at last, you posted this
where's the dragon's reflection?
I'd love to see this in wider aspect ratio, more space to the right.

thx for the crits. actually I tried putting in the dragons reflection would actually be where shoreline is. its pretty subtle and kind of blurred but the reflection of the hill the dragon is resting on is there. your right about the more space needed to the right thx dude
