Pretty nice and well-tillered. Any chance of taking the full draw a little closer? Bookmarked in any case for March Self BOM fun.

i really like how you did your overlays and the transition from snake to the end. is that a sinew wrap with thread X over it?
how did you do that.

@El Destructo: Hydrophis fasciatus might be the laten name of that sea snake.
