For KatelynnQuindara's art contest, here's Alpine! I took artistic liberty with the scar...If you want me to change it I can, it's not a big deal. The brown is inspired by glacial moraines, and how the ice turns brown from dirt/silt they pick up. If anything needs to be different let me know! I can do shading if you'd like, but I figured you'd want flats for this competition...So yeah

Straight up drawing
I personally like it with colored eyes, but you said they had to be black so ^^;

Transparent--

Also, as to why she only has three rows of scales, it's because of her neck twisting. By the time it levels out, the spines cover them--
But they're the same color as the second column of scales.
