The thing that really grabs me about this is that dragon. It reminds me of how fantastical dragons can be, that this reptile can just lay there in the snow and ice, and be perfectly comfortable.

Here's a little music that I feel fits the scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulCF77…

Fantastic work!

This looks very solid for watercolours. Did you also use gouache? It's wonderful, so frosty and rich.

alarie-tano In reply to Gold-Seven [2012-09-26 17:23:12 +0000 UTC]

No it's watercolors only.
I used some masking fluid though, if i remember correctly.

Wahnsinn. So einen "soliden", weichen Look kriege ich nicht mal mit meinen FlΓΌssigfarben hin. Echt beeindruckend.

FlΓΌssigfarben? Ecolines?

Gold-Seven In reply to alarie-tano [2012-09-26 17:31:48 +0000 UTC]

Nein, Docmartins bzw neuerdings Rohrer/Klingner. Die Ecolines sind ja, soweit ich weiß, farb-unechte Tuschen; meine sind richtige Aquarellfarben, nur eben in der Flasche. Die Docmartins sind allerdings Mist, die flocken nach wenigen Monaten total aus. Die Rohrer-Klingner sind der Wahnsinn, total ergiebig.

alarie-tano In reply to Gold-Seven [2012-09-26 17:39:28 +0000 UTC]

Ja die Lichtechtheit bei den Ecolines ist nicht ganz optimal ([link] ) aber solange man die Bilder nicht direkt ins Sonnenlicht hΓ€ngt sollts kein Problem sein.
Ich bin durch John Howe auf die gekommen. Aber vielleicht probier ich mal deine Rohrer/Klingner.

Gold-Seven In reply to alarie-tano [2012-09-26 17:56:26 +0000 UTC]

Die sind recht zΓ€hflΓΌsig. Ein Freund, ~Fumettisto , hatte mich mal vor der fehlenden Lichtechtheit gewarnt. Ich frage mich aber auch, ab wann die ins Gewicht fΓ€llt. Ich habe vor zwei Jahren mal einen Feldversuch mit Schmincke gestartet und auch das angeblich nicht lichtechte Alizarin Crimson ist nach zwei Jahren am Fenster nicht vom abgedunkelten Original zu unterscheiden... Die sind da wohl auch sehr vorsichtig.

Die Ecoline probier ich auf jeden Fall mal aus!

I must simply say that this rocks! But of course headbanging goes with a beautiful, tranquil winter scene. Dragons will sleep through a headbanging fest. Right? Seriously, I am somewhere beyond amazed. I wish I could find Christmas cards like this (any chance you could get a contract with Hallmark?). The entire picture is fantastic, but I really like the trees because the willowy branches and the leaves seem so real and they frame the picture so well.

No clue what Hallmark is. But if you really wish it as a Christmas card, i could make it available on moo.com or something like that.
