Description
Warning:don't watch this if you have a serious snake phobia
Allrighty, how did I make this?
I used this reference to get the dynamics of snakes weaving in and out
eachother right and realistic:

Note: these are eastern Ontario Garter snakes, they are in fact quite harmless, but they do have a nasty bite
I then traced the outer contours of two parts of the image with a 2B pencil, scanned it and then combined it.
based on that I made a rough painting to get the colours right, the lay out and the overall mood:

And then it's just painting in the scales one by one by one...
If someone is interested I can submit a little turorial in the forum, as I have
developed a rather effective and efficent way of painting scales

From my point of view the best artwork in your gallery. I am actually really scared of snakes but this is so well executed that I can't stop looking at it.
For some reason I think it's a pity you scrapped the one snake who is aiming out at the viewer (saw that in your scraps in DA). I think it would have made an awesome addition.

Patience sure pays off, you prove that here

viewer is being made as we speak
