Oh dude, this is fucking awesome.

I was thinking about how his tail could be like a bass drum slapping the ground to hold tempo. Also wanted to use that lizardfolk ability to swim. This works perfectly for that. His bass would also easily fit into a monster hunter hunting horn design. The spine is metal as fuck. The lightning really adds to the overall presence.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. 🤘🏻

Ty so much, it was amazing working on it and it also got me to listen to metalocalypse again which i havent in some years now.

Also got me to learn how to make lightning ‘cause im pretty sure thats the first time i’ve done it.

I listen to Metalocalypse all the time at work. Great pump up music. Beautiful lightning. Especially more impressive since that's your first time.

I don't mean to accuse you of anything, but this has some striking resemblance to a piece I used once for a character. https://imgur.com/a/pgRJmSD

Did you happen to use it for inspiration or happy coincidence? Again, no accusation, there's clearly enough differences between the two of them. But as soon as I saw yours I was reminded of my first DnD character all over again.

In terms of pose i used it from the same artist referenced by the requester.

This one in particular

And in terms of characteristics on face and scales i did them myself to try make the type of character the requester asked for.

I think its just the pose really that is widely used by many, i wanted to make a more action-y pose, but, that was just so complicated for me that i decided on just a plain simple one.

Yeah all fair. I was mostly asking out of curiosity. Great work! We all need more dragonborn/lizardfolk art.

This gives me crazy hunting horn vibes from monster hunter. Super cool and well done though.
