For some reason, the photos of “North Sea” make me think of Crayola crayons. However, no self-respecting dragon would be named “Crayola”!

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!You color wonderfully but I figured out what it is about these guys bothers me. Although it worked for “pitch” not so in many of the other colors and that is the neck scales that seem to be, outlined. Caribbean is an example I can point to, beautiful colors but when it comes to the neck you see those wonderful blue edged/outlined in a Peach. It is not a subtle edging but a thick line of peach around most of each scale. one of the others it is a bright red. they do not blend into each other it is just there. I know the model is molded that way, but it so changes, at least to me, the color scheme. Maybe a more shaded blend would work, kind of a mix of the main color and the brighter edging. Not sure as I have not painted one but it is just my observation. I do enjoy seeing these and the work is wonderful it is just the thing that was bothering me and I did not know until just recently why.

Thank you for your critique. Personally i prefer to paint the neck scales that way for certain schemes because it feels more finished to me. It’s part of the detail work that I do and It’s much harder to add that little bit then just to leave it plain. Also the area that you have to work with is considerably small so blending like you mentioned can be considerable hard.
Here is a preview to the latest piece i have finished this one is called Redwood Undergrowth I’ll have more photos tomorrow :3 this one is by far one of my favorites that i have worked on.

You could try something with an orange or a yellow base. I have yet to see too many appealing dragons in those colors. I’m sure it would present a challenge as well.
