So, I was working on my dragon's head and because the horns and the face is so big in the whole composition (like ¼ of the painting or so), I thought that they need to be more detailed and well rendered (I'll do less and less details on the dragon body as it moves away from the center of attention.
I'm happy with the rendering of the horns, but I'm not so sure with the effects of the scales on its face. I tried couples of things, most were ridiculously bad... And I came up with this test that was... better (inspiring myself with iguanas faces/scales), but I'm not convinced it's going to do the job. For now, I have painted only the forehead with this effect pushed to the fullest.
It might end up looking too much like the "camouflage" effect Mr. Vinh was referring to in class... It also feels like there's too much contrast too?
So I need to consult about this, before I get any further!
I wish I could to something more like this one (though in this case, the tail is closer and the head it farther, so more details on the tail, less on the face, etc.) But I'm seem to be incapable to do this rendering (like on the neck) @_@
