This is my Secret Santa's gift for DragonsDungeon. When I was scrolling thrue the comments there was a lot of references that seemed both challenging and inspiring, I wished to do one of those, and his one was. Hours before Auri pm'd me I replied to his comment without knowing I'll be his santa, what a foreshadowing.

My creative process was quit different, starting by the head in heavy detail (that's kinda a beginner mistake, but I want it to get it right). Workes in grayscale, focusing in volume and shape, since the skin is highly textured. I tried to break the squared model with the leg design. I changed some elements from the reference, like adding flesh wings and moving the opening to the front. I couldn't integrate well the red and bone parts with the rest of the body, maybe I restricted the palette and in the future I should plan a gradient to fuse these colors, I lower the red saturation yesterday. For the hand I studied how DragonsDungeon and VinylReplica do arms, but I rotated them so it feels more like dino's arms.

I think that it's a good skin for the skill level I currently am, and helped me to work on texture and shape, I used a lot of the second layer too. It can be improved once I develop further knowledge/techniques and put more work onto it, but I really love the head, is awesome. I'm always open to constructive criticism.

Hope you like it, happy holidays.
