Arboreal keepers (chondros, atbs, etbs)... lend me your subjects.

I have been planning my new tattoo for a few months now, and I'm more than sure it's going to be a chondro. A red neonate...

Here in lies the problem, I have sub standard drawing skills, yet I do not have the subject to work with. Sure theres google but I'm looking for a particular pose. I would like reference pictures using any chunky coily arboreal (I can redraw and fix the picture to look like a chondro).

I would like the snake sitting on a horizontal branch with its head and tail hanging down. Lose coils preferable Or if you have any particularly interesting poses you would like to show me go ahead, I'm open to any suggestions.

Its going to be a shoulder piece so please bear in mind I would like the head as a focal point. Heres a 2 second sketch to TRY and show what I'm on about

Hi Elle,
There is a guy here in Maine that produces GTP (Chondros, Sorongs). His name is Ross Lasley and his site is www.sprucenubblefarm.com . He has a bunch of nice pictures of them. Check it out it might give you some ideas.

ooo, yeay, snake art.

I did this a while a ago, a quick 10 minute drawing. There was context for it at one point, I really did have a reason for drawing it.



consnakes are cool + my obsession with snake arms.
Anyone else have snake art?

Elle-
If you're getting it center-shoulder...have it in a strike pose with the face coming straightat you from the center...Maybe I'll try sketching one out, if my scanner works...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Yes I want the head alligned with the centre line of my back.
