Description
Another collab, of another piece of fanart from Legends of Aether. This time, the Snek-with-a-Mech, Elliana. The lines were done up by my great friend , whose OC, Quiv, is also a purple snake who is pestered by birds. SO naturally, he just had to go with her. This was a real fun one to do. My second serious attempt at colors and shading. And this sort of character anatomy was certainly something else. As before, feedback would be very much welcomed.Elliana (C) Rivals of Aether/Dan Fornace

Where can I get a hat like that for my nefarious schemes?!?

You can order them on the Snek Net.

Snek with a mech! Awww yeee. The body has to get so twisted to get that expression across!
Awesome job with the colouring! Those greens go surprisingly well with the rest of her scheme, and you brought that out! Great little glimmers on the shiny bits too - the lever, goggles, eyes... one snek you don't want to mess with!
Soon you'll be colouring anatomy of ALL different sorts! Great work man!

A very good collab between you two! Definitely well done!
My only really constructive feedback is that the shadows and edge lights could be pronounced a bit more. Seems a little flat in places (e.g. underside of the tunic, the behind the faux-scarf). But for a character piece, it still works fine.

Thanks so much, my friend. I appreciate the feedback, too. I did notice the flatness in a few places. Like, shadows and light highlights that seemed much more sharp when I first put them on, seemed to almost look fainter as time wore on. I think it's an optical illusion, since as more details over more of the pic were added, these got reduced by comparison. And I did consider going back to touch those up, but decided I wanted to post instead. What do you think?

As a whole the piece works, so I would say don't worry about it. But you are kinda right; as I can see some soft shading in those parts. As I am not sure exactly how you are shading the piece ,(technically speaking) it might be due to the base colour muting your shading. In my experience, certain colours such as fluorescents, purples and oranges (especially vibrant orange!) can be very difficult to share correctly.
From the looks of it, I guess you are using a diffuse brush and a mildly darker tone, blending them in? Or perhaps a more defined brush and guassian blurring them?

I am in Procreate, using soft airbrush, and I tend to have transparency turned up. I add like larger shadows, then in new layers, add smaller shadows, clipping off areas oitside lines, and so on, the merge them down.
