They both look great. This is colored well and I really like how those scales turned out.

Really? I have the hardest time with shading them, and making them the correct size and even.. As a result, I'm still unable to draw either of my pet snakes. =.=;

well I've found that if you make a sideways cross hatch pattern it layers out the scales pretty evenly(making diamond shapes ).. Or just start with a layer and keep on building down the line. as for the coloring.. First I colored it all a solid medium color (with marker) then I penciled in the scales with a darker colored pencil, then just highlighted all the round tips with a light color and hit the joining parts with the darker color, and voila!
I kinda stole a bit of my technique from watching Miami ink.. I forget his name but one of the tattoo artists there punched out a killer snake tattoo!!
