Significantly shortened the neck.
Increased the arch of the neck.
Going for a shorter, thicker, more powerful and threatening look.
Just roughed it in, still need to do detailing.

Reworked feet/claws to try and make them more aggressive looking.
Made the claws wider apart on each foot, thinned them down to make them more boney/gnarly
Added some details to sides between wings and chest armor

Could not get the green color scheme to work for me
So trying out a different color scheme
Lots of detailing, dry brushing, and toning down left to do…

Like the new color pallet you're using. Looks to be coming along nicely.

Going back to green and yellow scheme.
Just put on first light coats.
Lots more washes and dry brushing to do.
I am pretty happy with how the head, neck, body, leg and claw modifications came out.
