Seems fine so far but it needs more shading. You have highlights but no shadows.

Looks like that lizard monster from that one Disney movie...Rescuers Down Under or something like that.  Nice.

Well i shaded the reaming part, and made the shadepart darker to add more contrast, i think it looks better :P. so any C&c would be kool. oh yea and i also made the black lines not black.

EditL: did a few miner changes, missed some stuff etc. and the color count says 24 ;P

That's looking pretty good, but I prefer the original highlighting colour.

Of course you're not, you never try it.  You need to try new and different things if you want to get better.

Google some references and work from there.  Google Image is a godsend.  I use it all the time when working off something I've never tried before.

I just typed in "reptile scale" and Googled Image'd it and this was the first entry (very useful in itself);
