I don't know Why he's holding a cactus.

I'll post up the line art later if anyone's interested in working out some better color schemes.

Diggity.

    I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a horned dong. But you erased the "middle part"

    Interesting amount of different skin textures.

    The colors are looking already pretty nice. the purple and orange are a good complimentary.

    Best. Comment. Ever.

    I think the colours are looking cool. My eye is drawn to the cactus immediately and the colours flow rather nicely from the creatures hands to his head (does that make sense?:)). Cool pic. Got others?

    He's holding the cactus just in case he gets thirsty. If you were an enormous lizard-person, would you stroll around with a wussy little water bottle? I think not.

    The way the cactus bends right at the edge of the image has the "i ran out of room on the page" look. You might want to extend your canvas or move the character over then redraw the cactus .

    Thanks for the comments so far guys. Horned dong? The more I look at it, the more I can't see it as a cactus anymore.

    The whole lizard people carrying around cactus's for their water storage capabilities is actually kind of cool, not the way I have it, but perhaps if he had a huge one attached to his back like a backpack or something.

    I did in fact run out of canvas space, thus the curvature of the cactus. Anyone know a good way of moving multiple elements around in open canvas?

    Finally, if anyone knows of a cheap/free file hosting option, I could put the .wpe up for those who were interested.

    I guess the three ends make it a tri-cock?

    Tridongs are 3 tmes as fun. I like the coloring, but the line weight seems to thick on the outer edges.

    I'm glad to be getting so many cock related comments. Thanks Demi, for switching it up (a little) The line weight was a stylistic choice on my part. Truthfully though, that's how I've done my own stuff for years. I did a lot of graffiti in my younger days, so I guess that's where I get the thicker outlines from. I've never really considered doing a uniform line thickness throughout an entire piece.

    Thanks for your comment. As simple as it was, it's a good reminder to me to always be trying to do things a little different.
