Description ACEO commission for MoonDragon-1 of her lovely starheart dragon, Galacis. She was fun - but deceptively and surprisingly difficult - to draw. Or rather, color, I should say. Drawing her was super fun and easy - I made tons of little doodles of her 'til I could draw her without looking at ref pics - but coloring was a whole other story. My first time coloring something with a transitioning gradient of colors...I hope it looks alright. And I didn't have any colored pencils that matched the body color, so I had to kind of wing it. I hope it's close enough.

My camera decided not to like orange colors this time around, so the oranges are much brighter in real life than they appear here. Everything else is pretty close to the real thing, though, so, YAY.

Also, sparkly glitter paint doesn't show up here, but in it does here , in this horrible (and I mean HORRIBLE) photo.

I hope you like it, MoonDragon! Thanks so much for your support.

 If anyone is interested in commissioning me for an ACEO, fire me a note! All proceeds go towards helping me fix the giant financial dent my kitty's not-so-recent-anymore-but-still-feelin'-it vet bill left in my savings account. 


Technical: ink, colored pencils, white fabric paint, glitter paint on bristol

Ah why thank you!
I still have a lot to learn about coloring things, but I do like using strong, bright colors. I'm glad you think they look alright.

Beautiful flow and colors! It really looks like she was floating weightlessly in the space.

I'm glad you like it. I really wish I had had a pencil of the exact color to work with, but... If you're okay with it, I'm happy.
