In the end it took a while to get him all textured-up and to choose the right bump mapping, but I used Photoshop a lot and finished the job. He looked great after all my work and effort and I went through a few wing textures until I settled on the one I liked the most. I added a special luminance and reflective tendency to his "scales" that made them reflect the light as greenish. I also decided that he would be stony instead of scaly, appearing as a statue come to life.
