This one is much simpler than the one above. I'll need to take some photos while playing today.

spikes can be blue, whitish, creamy...whatever you think fits best. : -)
How will you pay: 1 Aqua..., one of each Armungandr
Which criteria makes you decide about the pose?
(sitting would probably be most fitting for this one?)
Sounds good! As for pose, I generally just make thumbnail pose sketches until something looks good, if all I've been given is the creature's appearance. If I've been given a personality, I try to make the pose match the personality, like I won't make a peaceful character in an angry roaring pose. For real animals such as pets, more grounded poses such as walking and sitting are common, while fantasy creatures are more likely to get floaty, flying, twisty, or regal poses. If it's a design where I have to rely heavily on reference, I try to pose it in a way that shows off the more solidified details in the reference and hides pieces that are more muddled (such as if the tail never shows up in any reference, I'll try to hide the tail behind the body.) I can do sitting for your piece, sure. I assume you mean in a similar way to the void/celestial dragon hatchlings in your signature?
Not sure if your question was more of a technique question or if you just wanted to know how I'd pose your specific request
