Description A little more traditional. Silver dragon for a friend of mine for his birthday present that I promised him several years ago. I'm glad I did it now, because it would have looked much worse back then.

I'm pretty happy with how the color turned out, but it definitely looks cooler and less gray in real life. 8ish hours.

not so angular with the wings and body ^^ more curves and organic lines. more contrasts with colors as well, which means more pronouced shadows/lightings.

curvy lines? ^^ organic is like... biological lines... look up organic shapes (as opposed to geometric shapes) ^^
