Aaaah, much better! My only issue with the previous ones (which I only realized recently) was that the weird white border each scale had made them look kind of odd- this one avoids that nicely and adds a much nicer, subtler shine to each scale. I think it looks especially good on those darker/more colorful dragons.

Yeah the white lines were bothering me too xD It was supposed to be a lazy way of adding shine, but it clearly didn't work out very well @____@;
Thank you! ;D I'm glad to see I didn't make it worse xD

So for some weird reason I started a different Accent. @_@
These are going to be the death of me. Ugh.
Druidish Ridge male. Not sure if I want to keep the flowers on there or just have it be vines/roots. Flowers aren't very fitting for most males.
Thoughts?

I don't really like the flowers one, maybe its the style its done in. Looks reallllllly different from FR style. A bit too painted on? If that makes sense?
I like the last version of the scales though.

True. I was trying my best not to use the blur or anything. I'll mess around with it some more and prob just remove the flowers all together xD
I'm glad you like the scales! ;D! That makes me quite happy to see it's not terrible. :3

I think the flowers/vines are fine (I guess I mean't all of it not just the flowers) just maybe find a way to sharpen them up?

Yeah. I'll sharpen it and see if I can get it a bit more realistic instead of looking like puffy paints xD! That's all I really see it as right now o3o

Updated the ridge a bit.
Sharpened the vines a bit. Not sure if it looks less puffypaint like or not. I'm just unsure about what I can do with it to make it work D: Aside from trying to cut out pictures of vines from google or something. Rofl.

I think possible just more practice doing it over and over using different shading coloring and styles.

So I'm working on a special skin for my lovely WC, Truth. She's going to be a Pally :3 BONUS POINTS IF YOU KNOW WHAT SET THIS IS GOING TO BE BASED OFF OF~
Anywho. Just wanted to plop this here. Not sure if I'll ever sell this one. MAYBE if there is any interest but IDK xD

BUT THESE ONES.
I really like these ones. I went through and added some shine to EACH scale individually. But when I tried the skin on a white Mirror, I couldn't see it. SOOO~ I inverted the shine! They still look really good IMO though o3o



I need opinions again! Even if you don't know what you're talking about! XD A simple "That sucks" or "I like it" is SUPER helpful too!
Also, thank you EVERYONE that has offered me advice so far! You guys rock ;.;
I like this version the best.
