Female Marine Lizard (Head Shot)

Female head/neck shot.

Above is the head detailing of the female marine lizard i sketched earlier. Honestly this took way too long and i need to find a way to loosen my painting style and reduce time spent. This is my aim for my future Photoshop work as in reality, in industry time is something we don't have!

This creature has a metallic blue and turquoise detailing to the larger scales and spine plates, helping it to  camouflage in the blue depths of the ocean, that is until it becomes closer to a target which by then it would be too late. The spinal panels assist heat absorption as this creature is cold blooded.

I am now going to attempt some faster Photoshop work to see what i can achieve in short spaces of time.
