Horse- final and a Dragon WIP

I'm going to call Mr. Horse finished.  At some point I might vectorize him for cleaner edge work.  However, at this point I feel quite satisfied and I can move on feeling accomplished.

I wanted to practice skin textures so I decided to do a little bit on the earth dragon.

Sorry, I haven't posted for awhile.  I've been pretty busy lately.  I do have some sketch pages to post later, though!  

Some animal skin/coat/pattern practice in Photoshop.

I promise I'm still working on this...  WIP.  I won't drop you like a ton of my other projects, horsey!  I promise!

Sketch Pages 649-651

 Wow, I've been doing these daily sketches for over two years now.  Huh.  I began them on August 9th 2010. I feel proud but I also know that I should have waaaaaaay more pages finished than I have now.  Ah well, I don't think I would have drawn so much if it weren't for this blog.

And a quick study of my roommate's bearded dragon.
