Commission for LiveHotsun They wanted their character, whom they've commissioned me to draw before in the coils of a different snekpone, this time captured by my lamia, Melyssa (still want to change that name ugh) I changed her design a little here. I know I changed it in the last picture and I may change it again! but that's what happens when you're trying to change up and experiment with a character design. This time I added spots under her eyes and running down her arms. Also made her tail spots a little messier. Imitating some aspects of the design of an old favourite lamia character of mine. I don't think I pulled off the spots going over the shoulders and down the arms though. mostly cus her shoulders were too low I think. also makes her whole front/breast area look plain. I'd love people's feedback and ideas. maybe I should stretch the whole underbelly up to her breast?
Anyway after a *LOT* of struggling I finally came up with a pose both I and the commissioner adored. Not to mean they were being picky, it was entirely my fault for being way too scrutinising on myself and wanting it to be just right XD Sometimes you jsut have to start a picture over 3 times. But we got there in the end!
