Description
Edit: you can find a walkthrough of how this was made with all the encompassing close-ups over here .***
So me and a few other artistically inclined ladies were having a conversation and one of the topics was - is it possible to draw a guy that is clad ONLY in jewellery and doesn't appear gay? It was decided to solve this mystery through empirical research, with a side-note that no weapons were allowed in the picture. So here's my take on the subject. ^-^
Your turn, ladies!
Corel Painter 9, Wacom Intuos, 3 days and I'd better get back to actual work that I should be doing.
If Painter didn't corrupt 90% of my saves then I'll try to put together a sort of walkthrough for this one, too. Here's hoping. >.>
May be reposted for as long as my full name and preferably a link back to my gallery are provided. No modifications.

l really love this piece, reminds me of an old character of mine.
If I ever make an artwork of that character, I may take this painting as main inspiration.
I hope you don't mind
Keep up the good work

An absolutely fascinating (and hilarious) start to a beautiful, beautiful picture. I can see so many ways this could have gone horribly wrong, and it went wonderfully /right/. Thank you so much for the great eye-candy, and the tutorial!

I think his has to be my favorite image that I've found on Deviant Art. I took a look at the tutorial thingy, too and it absolutely blew my mind.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is amazing, and even more so for the reason it was created! This is by far one of the most interesting and realistic male naga I have seen... and you drew this? To me it looks better than any photoshop I've seen. Great work! I love the colour of his scales, and the overall smoky, almost foreboding look to the whole piece!

Ah, no conundrum at all...whatever choices he's offering, you'll still lose. But at least you're going to feel really good about it!
Gorgeous creature, cold-blooded but still inviting! I love all the little details on the jewels and scales you included and the soft, pale hues of violet and lilac!
