Demonic Dragon WIP 02

Description

At this stage, the design of the dragon is more or less final, some final details can be added later at coloring stage, but the shape and proportion of the dragon is already final, the background is also considered ok.

So I proceed to coloring stage again, with some trial and error. I mask out the dragon (since it was on separate layers) and began laying down the colors for background, and refining the mountains along the way, as well as adding color variation. I use "color" layer mode as usual, you should add another layer when adding the variation.

On a "new" "normal" layer, I blot down the main color palettes for the dragon body as well as the highlight and shadows, so that I can get consistent colors when coloring them using color layers, as the colors appear differently on "color" and "normal". I also add minute details and sharp highlights straight on "normal" layers. Add some levels and color balance and I am one :)
