It was so damn cute I had to draw it.
Thanks for everything guys! 
Yayz! South Carolina really is an inspiring place. Especially when it comes to the wildlife. Thanks for submitting this. It's wonderful! :joy:
I'm still getting used to the tablet, so my strokes are a teensy bit shaky

Additionally, the colors are used to create the textures on the bark of the tree, the rippling surface of the ocean and of course on the skin of the Palmetto Dragon itself.
The textures themselves are also worth mentioning. It's nice to see how they all differ significantly from each other. The water looks smooth, while the bark looks rough, almost stylised. And the lizard's skin looks so detailed, that it's almost realistic.
The heavy line work, which suggests a more toony style, contrasts with this realism. This is a combination (heavy line work + detailed textures) you rarely see, and seeing it being pulled of successfully is even more unusual.
The only issues I have with this picture, is the fact that the grey, transparent leaf-like patterns on the background don't really seem to suit the image. They seem alien, next to the detailed textures mentioned earlier. I think it might have looked better without these 'leaves'. Personally I don't think the empty space they would leave behind, would be a terribly big problem, but that could always be remedied by drawing some stars in the night sky, or something like that.
But overall this is still a very nice image.
