AND FINALLY
AFTER WEEKS
IT'S DONE

Wow this was quite something. It took me so long to finish this, mostly because of the pain of those scales. BUT LOOK! I ACTUALLY FINISHED IT AND DIDNT GIVE UP! c8 Please someone give me some medals.
Okay so, it's not perfect. It's messy. But it was still to draw and I pretty much love the outcome. This is how I picture Saphira. Except, now I picture the scales on her snout as triangle-shaped, as they were described as in the fourth book. Oh well, though xD I picture her neck scales as long and sharp, just because sometimes she makes her scales rise like a cat does with it's fur. And of course the scales on her back are sharp too, because everyone who read the first book can remember what Eragon's first flight did to his thighs. Ow. But yea c: This was super fun to do, and even though the scales killed me, it was fun making all kinds of different shapes with them for different parts of her body.

The background, though......Eh x'D I tried so hard to fix it, but my problem is that I drew it all on one layer, and so I wasn't sure how to fix small parts without affecting the whole thing. So, here's a prime example of why I should stick to LAYERS c'8 Oh well. Just ignore the background kinda and focus more on Saphira, okay? c:

So. Last picture I will submit this year. It's a good one c: I like that I'm ending the year with this one. WOO~ 
Hope you guys like it!

Please do not steal, thank you! c:
