An art trade for TheGreaterClaush of their dragoness character G.r.e.d. It had been a while since I went back to textured brushes but now I remember why I loved em so much!

One guiding idea in the sketches was the character is sort of a background businessperson and has grown mostly detached from people unless money is on the table I tried to make them look a bit busy/serious and severe

Had fun drawing this character because she reminds me of another OC I have (Opal Featherfall : https://www.weasyl.com/~scruffybrush/submissions/2181477/2018-unamused-opal-sitting-on-a-wall ), both similarly slender and snakelike dragoness, but with different personalities. Opal's much more rash and brutish while gred is cold and fancy So they'd hate eachother lol
