Description As you can guess, this is my half of an art trade with ~XEternalBarugon . He wanted to see his demon serpent kaiju, Daemonuse, for the UCA. You already saw the lineart for this guy, and now here he is in full glorious color.
As far as coloration is concerned, there are three main color elements for him: purple, green, and white. The purple is the most dominant one, while the other two are secondary. I chose the secondary colors for the background so that he stands out more, and threw in some fireballs just for the heck of it. He IS a demon, after all.
Also, Photoshop filters are fun!

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. And referring to Photoshop...
For the lineart, I used the level tool, modifying the black/white levels to create crisp, clean lineart that can be colored easily.
For the colors, I used the Solid Fill tool to block in solid colors, and the Burn tool to make shadows.
And for the textures, I used a clever combination of the magic wand and the Texturizer tool from the Filter menu. Much lulz was had on this part, especially once I got to the sandstone for the spikes and the skull.
