Made this for the RIFT Colossus Contest. I wanted a flying beast with a giant dinosaur like horn and this came out.

Here are a few relevant tips for digipainting stuff like this:

-Nature is the BEST reference! ... although I did look at other people's works here just to get a better idea on the style I want :)

-separate on a different layer the elements that you are not sure of... I separated the fur patterns just in case I don't like the end result... I must say though that you must limit yourself to only a few layers for these.

-simulated motion blur is epic for movement
