Pytho Draco Design Contest - WINNERS

:thumb369760343:

A funny personality to go along with a fantastic color scheme. I've been enamored with Heston since he was first entered. I enjoy his colors and the way his reference sheet was laid out. Aledles is the first place winner. 

I was waiting for someone to do a black/white design. And this one is fantastic with the large patch of white on the shoulder. I like how the mane is striped as well and Singe has purple eyes. Very nice! Soulphur is the winner of second place.

Look at this chubster! I definitely like a round character. Bango is adorable and I like his gradients. chirpeax is also the winner of second place.

I have a huge fascination with snakes and their coloring. I have a character who is classified as a Pytho Draco (original species), which means he is half dragon and half python. He's such a fun character and I cherish him a lot (even if his art count doesn't show it). Whelp, I'm itching to get a new one, since there are LOADS of awesome snake designs out there! Time for a contest!

Here is Temper's reference. He generally has everything I'm looking for in a Pytho Draco.
