In this video im focusing on how i went about creating the scales for this creature. I decided to use a more laborious method of doing them all by hand and sculpting each one then masking out and pulling it over to create the overlap. It was so much fun creating this creature and detailing it the way i did. Hopefully this video is helpful.
You can buy dragon scale brushes that i have made to help you sculpt faster (they are cheap):
