@lizardywizard, what do you think of the colour?
i was totally about to reblog this gushing about how gorgeous and then i saw that you tagged me!
there is (afaics on mobile) a teeeeensy bit too much green in the blue to be Actually Me but otherwise very acceptable, 9/10 for accuracy but 12.65/10 for Just Plain Gorgeous. like seriously those markings are The Latest Chic and if they’re not then you me and the Fasiion Industry have got some Talkems to’do
honestly on further examination I like the head shape Rather A Lot and the transition from turquoise into yellow around the jawline is A+. i have always liked that kind of colour pattern (upper body and upper jaw one colour/belly and lower jaw another colour) but wouldn’t have thought of this colour combo, it’s actually unexpectedly aesthetic.
also he is a very nice example of nature doing a sparkledog well. lots of busy complex patterns but it never looks like too much.
a lesson we can all learn from. I want Draw Him
#i like this lizard rather a lot #please feel free to ask for Reptile Reviews any time
