Coloring looks fine to me, though theres no shadow parts in it.
(Contrast in colors)

Nice drawing ^^

Now that I examine this, I have decided to redo it, and make it even better by placing colors where they should be! Also, if you want to view the leg outlines and stuff, you will have to click the picture.

My latest piece. I hope to be doing many more reptiles, they are a fantastic way to practice texture. This took about 4-5 hours.

My first random not planned out painting, and my first using a canvas, and easel :P Forgive the flaws
The canvas is a little larger than a postcard, very fun to do. I definitely LOVE both the easel and the canvas!!

Thanks! I'm really proud of this because I've been doing a lot of practice just on sketch book paper and tracing out the animal I want to paint...this was all done freehand...I did look up a picture just to get an idea of pattern and how the feet are, but this was all me :)

Ok, so IMO...you can't get anymore reptiley & arty than these, wish I could capture how they really look on camera...they are gorgeous even with flaws :D
Forgive errors, this is only my second batch of using resin with ANYTHING ever ever, so some of them are ... imperfect. Also my cat destroyed a couple of these after they were almost set @$!#@$!@

In the future, these will be available for sale, after I get a few more technique errors fixed (easy, but I'm out of resin now haha). I will also be able to make custom skin pendants, using skins from pets etc. I am taking donated skins (snake) and all donaters will receive products made from that skin as compensation. May also be able to make lizard skin pendants if your lizards shed in large enough pieces (i've seen em!) :D

Prices will be determined by price of bezel and size.
