Description
King of the Monster Gods’ July Chalkenge. This one was a real struggle for me. I think I like how it turned out...My take is the idea of the Muse having been with the boy all his life and the richness her presence has given him and the generations who’ve enjoyed the stories she’s inspired.

This turned out great Alexis. What kind of paper do you use?

Thanks! I use a Moleskine Art Plus A4 Watercolor Album, made of heavy paper, 200 gsm/135 lb., 25% cotton fiber cold pressed, identical on both sides, acid free, neutral PH, archive quality ISO 9706, without bluing, it is amazing. I can paint on both sides without bleed. It allows clean erasure. For the larger pieces I use a watercolor paper with a little more tooth..

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE what you have done with my challenge!! What an amazing entry! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I love all the fantasy and art going on behind him!
Makes me think that he is about to die to be taken to Parnassus!
And I think i see a dragon cat?

Oh, I hope he goes to Parnassus when he dies—but I hope he finishes his story first! I’m so glad you like it—and yes! A dragon cat—a grimalkin. I will look at making more of these critters!

the very thing I thought was that the dragon and the cat of your "dragon telling joke" drawing had a baby

I love this, it´s so full of life!
Gives me a feeling like, no matter how old you are, - you´re never too old to let your immagination run wild!
Hope you stay inspired by the muse ^^
