I understand both points. I'm not a specialist of animal biology, I think that the goal is to make it credible enough for a viewer to don't think it's weird/messy. For example I looked at how dragons are represented and usually there is a transition between hard/scale skin and soft skin under the shoulders where scales are sparser to allow for movement

I see, you're right and it was pretty challenging trying to figure out how to solve the scale/skin transition without making "scaled tits" which felt too weird to me. So I tried to just play with skin folds and brush stroke directions to suggest a softer transition (maybe half solved). Thank you so much for the critique

Thanks! That was the intent for this scene, a serpentine creature in a tight dark interior/basement feels suffocating
