THOSE SCALES The patience in making this must have been immense. Beautiful work as usual. That part over on the left though right above the two flowers--is that a tail?

Thank you so much! Yeah, it took a bit of time to do all the details, but it's always my favourite part. Yes, that is the tail on the left. I used a sea snake as the inspiration for the design of the serpent and they have tails that are like a paddle or fin.

Ahh, yes, that makes sense. I immediately thought of it as a land snake, so the fin confused me for a moment. All makes sense now.
