Elapidae Draconem

Also Known As "Cobra Dragon".

I made up this piece specifically for the "Year of the Snake" contest at #Dragon-Fanatics

As the name suggests I designed this dragon critter based on cobras and other venomous snakes. ... the patterning is Mostly "Philippine Cobra" and part "Bush Viper" and part "Diamond Back Rattlesnake" ... needless to say it's a very venomous dragon.

I envision this dragon living in a very tropical climate, where food is plentiful, but there are bigger predators to warn away.

I had a lot of fun with this piece, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. (though as some might notice, I didn't try to match the lighting in the background with the foreground. I was trying to leave emphasis on the design concept.) and much thanks to my brother ~amascusmage for suggestions on snake species and overall support.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do.
