Nagini

Part of a series of works for my Final Illustration Project, [DEMIURGE] (on-going)

This work was done first as a Digital Imaging assignment (topic being Mystic Creature) before it was taken into DEMIURGE to complement the other character designs I have done.

Character design notes
Half-serpent, half human, the snakes lady are the Apsaras to the dragon kings @ guardians of their sacred temple. At full power, they can grow wings and rise higher than normal (though not fully flight). A being known for their strong binding magic, fast temper, and dead-cold loyalty to their overlords.
