This is all source material, except for the tongue and eye, which was from one of my own images.

pearlie [lvl 6] [vp 0] [ 0]:

nice work, but since you kept its tongue, I'd also list that source and leave it on that sand.

I agree, I dont think the backround fits, but the cobra is nice

ronald [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 66]:

Good idea, nice work. But i also think it could use a different background.

kymbryonic [lvl 2] [vp 308] [ 13]:

tongue barely shows up in final :idea: would look cool if stone snake was emerging/morphing out of pebble background

Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried it and the snake gets lost in the pebbles
