It's the home stretch now. Mostly it's just the background, and maybe a few small things here and there. Should finish it tonight or tomorrow.

Progress2
I was going to post this last night, but I ended up falling asleep.
Forgot to resize the link watermark but whatever. The gold doesn't look so flat anymore, but I need to go over the chains and add a couple links at the back of the neck and have it actually attach to the pendant. And do the gem in the pendant. After that it's just details and a background and I'm done :D
And I finally got my third pyro milestone in TF2, so I'll be much less tempted to play that instead of doing art >3

Progress!
Dragon's mostly done, now it's just the jewelry. The shiny, gold jewelry... and the shiny gemstones.
I'm going to redo the spine sheaths again, since I still don't like their shading. Same with the gold pendant. And of course the gems. Plus fixing details like the nostril and eyelids and such. The main thing left, though, is the chain. I tried multiple times to get it with rectangular links and it just wasn't working, so next up are round links that overlap. What's there is 5 seconds to get an idea about it, and it looks better. Whether it will still look good after I put time into it remains to be seen, however.

Quick update
Figured I might as well post what I managed to get done since my earlier post, since I won't be working on it any more tonight and I don't know what, if anything, I'll get done on it tomorrow or the next few days.
It's coming along nicely, even if I keep wandering onto the internet every 10-20 minutes >_>;;
Not sure if I'm looking forward to or dreading the shiny jewelry.

Yay tutorial vids.
I'm so bad at actually finishing anything... Started working on yet another piece =_=;;;
Earlier I ended up watching several tutorials on ctrl+Paint and wanted to try out some of what I learned on a new piece. So far so good, and without a crazy number of layers or an embarrassing amount of time spent! Of course I have work the next three days, so I don't know if/when I'll finish this. It never fails that I'm most motivated to do art just before I won't have the time or energy left to work on anything XP
But I definitely recommend checking that site out. Lots of helpful pointers and info there. And did you know Photoshop has a transform selection tool?! How was today the first I've heard of such a thing? I can not wait until I get a chance to use it 8D;;
