I looooove love love love LOVE nagas, which will become more apparent as I upload them by the dozens, practically. Anyway, this is my half of an art trade with someone on deviantART. She requested an emerald tree boa naga.

He's so green...! I like the wings, specially since i'm making a tour for creatures that have been weirdly winged. Mind if i use him?

:-) Liz Carlson replies: "Feel free to use him in your tour! And yes, the wings were just a random little touch added in near the end, hence why they look a bit haphazard. I just thought he needed a little something extra."

It looks great but... why the wings? Splotch of creativity?

I'm about naga'd out, but this picture might make me change my mind. 12 I know it would be a royal pain the rear to do, but have you considered going back and drawing scales? I think it would really add to your picture.

:-) Liz Carlson replies: "I've considered it, yes. In fact, I do add scales or at least suggestions of scales on most of my nagas, but I think by the time I would have gotten around to it, I was naga'd out as well 12"

I love it!!!! ::Hugs picture:: I'm also a fan of the ...Human..Snakey type things. They are so cool and the tails are so fun to draw. Though i must ask- how on earth did you create such a neat and 3d looking tail? The tail for my guy is nowhere near as cool. I wanted to try and make him in a crazy pose for my next pic, But i can't figure out how to draw snake tails to make cool dynamic poses (i'm still trying to figure out how to make a tail lie on the ground without looking 2d...)

Any suggestions? Did you use a reference? i will welcome any tips or tricks! ^_^;;; i need all the help i can get...

I really love the color of the character too (such a pretty green) and i really like the baackground. I love the wings!! So cute!

Make more of them!!
