      Ok i got rid of the bird because it wasnt helping create a story really in any way. But im liking where this is going. Does the tip of the tail feel too close?

        @Aleksey this looks fantastic. Re the tip of the tail, it might feel a little close, maybe have it tilted more away and/or smaller?
        I think this is going to be great!

            Line work so far. I’m going to try and add texture using color and light rather than line

                @KaraDaniel thanks! colors gonna be a struggle but I think my method of stealing color palettes has been successful so far.

                        Looking so awesome. Love the colors and the shapes/composition.
                        How does one go about stealing color palettes? Eyedropper tool?

                                Also i saw John Hendrix’s piece at the Society of Illustrators 62nd annual exhibition and i liked how he did the snow Bear footprints in his piece so i tried to copy the technique he used for my lizard creature.
                                I think im done, any final thoughts?

                                  My final thoughts are that this turned out fabulously. I love the “camera placement,” the line work, and the night time palette you chose. It’s great.
