Earthbound Skyworm - Caldyra

For Skyworm design contest for her Caldyra artbook.

The Skyworm I designed is made of earth materials like dirt and rock with diamonds embedded in him, the larger of which resemble mountains along his back. He has bushes and flowers growing on his shoulders and a small tree growing out of his head.

The design breakdown is:
45% Chinese dragon
40% Mountains and trees
15% Diamonds.

I started with the idea of a cat, as you can see from the thumbnails, but felt a dragon would appear more "magical". For once in my life I decided not to solve a problem with a cat!

Thank you for the critique! I did what I could to address some of the issues and make it all cool with more color variations.
