Water Dragon

So this has been a piece that has been long in coming. It's been one of those "color little bits over the period of weeks" picture.

This would be the Water Dragon in my dragon set I'm working on. (Still need to pop out a background for the Forest one.) I was working off a whale design when I made this dude. Another reason for the Blue Whales off in the background.

For a size comparison, the blue whale on his right is actually swimming right next to him. So if a blue whale's average size is around 110ft long, you can see how big that mofo is. lol

Tried something new with coloring scales. I wanted him to have more leathery/slippery skin like if you felt the skin of a porpoise or dolphin. So he couldn't have interlocking scales like you'd see on a dragon/snake reptile etc. So while looking at many whale references, they have some spotty/shiny spots to their skin... thus I came up with that. I don't know. XD It looks nifty.
