So I have absolute surety with my limited skill in GIMP I probably won't be able to do this on my own. I'm wondering if I can get an official artist to do what I'm visualizing...heh. If not, I might give it a go.

Hiya! I'm requesting a design from staff, please!

• What FA item will be the base for this design? Please be specific.
Naga
• What theme would you like your design to be inspired by?
Orange beach sunset
• What colors do you want included in your design?
#fd2f24 #ff6f01 #fed800 and black
• Is there anything else you would like the artist to know?
I like the color style where there's a lighter hued background and the foreground is a really dark, thus the black in my palette. Like how the mane on this horse looks with the gradient and solid highlights: http://www.valleyofunicorns.com/Horse/2797588/I7Lf6u. If it's allowed as well, could we use that black to make a solid tattoo pattern (like an outline) that repeats down the tail horizontally similar to this so it looks like rings? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/60/20/5c/60205cb53a38d74e23017845511d66b9.jpg If not, I would like this back pattern with the solid black band on the spine and the spikes: http://static.chickensmoothie.com/archive/image.php?k=A76C89B6B8D8C649D7857A40904DC6DA&bg=aca5ae

For the belly area, I would like an iridescent look. The main scales being black with the horizontal lines as a red/gold gradient kind of like this image: https://www.picclickimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/2~8AAOSwWG5any4W/$/Green-Iridescent-Dragon-Scales-On-A-Nylon-2-_1.jpg

The shoulder scales can be just like the main body scales with the sunset theme.
Let me know if this is too much detail for one request and I'll change it up!

Thank you!

Yoink!

Okay, I think this is what you were going for? I hope... I struggled with the belly a lot and the markings... Let me know what you think.

Everything looks really good, I can see the subtle colors in the belly and originally thought about asking to make it darker but then the colors wouldn't show up as well. The markings are beautiful and thank you so much for working so hard on this!

That's really gorgeous!

That's really gorgeous!

I really enjoy the sunset art where they have a black palm tree or dolphins and such with the background as a sunset. Lucille did a really good job putting that same effect to this and iridescence is hard to figure out how to do properly haha. Sorry Lucille!

I'm glad you like it! I'll get it all uploaded and sent to you here in a moment.

And sent!
