Description Rattlesnake naga! Look mom no lineart!! XD

Wanted to try something different. Also, this is unabashedly inspired by 's [link] I saw it and just had to try drawing nagas of my own. I lurve creatures.

Yeah. Soooo. His name's Cory (lol it's SOOO frightening for a name) and he's an eastern diamondback rattlesnake.


Photoshop and a bajillion hours 'cause I tweak things forever.

Nice. I like the ears and hair. Gives it a sort of personality beyond, 'Hissssss your food.'

Nagas are the sexiest beast.
I love the detail in his scales and patterns. The rattler is perfect as well! I can just image him rattling it to get a sexual victim or prey...

I love it. Beautiful. :]

Juvera [2008-02-24 00:34:26 +0000 UTC]

This is one of those peices you don't expect, because the artist usually dishes out different kinds of art. In your case, I usually get the Rainbow Brite-ish stuff that has me a blink away from epileptic ceasure, but this is great. Absolutely original (Not that your mermaids are not, they are very unique), and so unexpected. Excellent lack of lineart. Good stuff!

The blending of reptilian and human qualities in his face look very interesting and detailed.... can't... stop... staring... @.=.@

yeah, I will definitely own up to that as well XD Yamita's nagas are infectious X3 I drew one long ago, but she hasn't seen the light of scanner yet >.<
But yeah! I really like how well you blended the snake and human half of this guy. All the scales turned out really nicely too. His tongue is cute to me despite the fact that he's in a strike stance X3

Rattlesnakes don't have ears.... >.> Infact, that's why they can't hear... anything...

that's my only nit pik... otherwise, this is awesome, especially for not having line art behind it. ^_-

solipherus In reply to RoxyRoo [2007-11-01 03:37:35 +0000 UTC]

Er, I know. Rattlesnakes don't have arms or facial muscles that allow them to smile either. I like big ears on mah creatures. *points to Orcans with their big teddy-bear-ears* They're just so expressive.

But thanks!
