Description
I still have a couple more school art things to submit... oops!

This is the first of a series/triptych of 3 extinct animals (I did them in chronological order, and they represent water, earth and air)
They were for my painting final.

This is my version of the diplocaulus, an amphibious pre-dinosaur creature with a boomerang shaped skull. They're pretty awesome :]

Oil paint on masonite board, 14 x 18 in.

I am perpetually mystified by your art! It's seriously so incredible. I LOVE the teal and just the overall color scheme in this.

Awesome creature. I love the way you handle colour and fluids. Your creatures always look fantastical, even when they're really mundane. Since this is already a weird beast, the effect is compounded! Beautiful work again!

yeah we only live a state away! i guess they got some good postal carriers around here ^_^
just wondering, where do you get your prints printed?

IceandSnow In reply to Kainaa [2011-01-07 06:54:40 +0000 UTC]

INORITE? xD

Well, kinda depends! When I'm just doing a couple at a time I just print them out with my home printer on photo paper because it generally does a good job (in fact, a better job than any printing place I've been to- they all make things too high contrast and I hate the way it makes my art look!) but it kinda poops out if I print too many things out at once. If I'm getting a bunch of copies of something to sell at a convention, I just get them printed at kinko's. The ones I've sent you lately have all been done with my home printer. SOMEDAY, I'll have a better system for this, haha.

woah your home printer o.o it must be a good one. i have photo paper, but idk how to get it to look right. i did it once, and it just rubbed off when i touched it. am i doing something wrong?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

IceandSnow In reply to Kainaa [2011-01-08 18:10:54 +0000 UTC]

yes, it generally is!

Hm. Did you specify that you were using photo paper when you printed it? I would look at the settings when you're printing, there might be something you can do about it.
Also, I'm not sure about this, but maybe you have to have a printer that's meant to print photos. I know mine at home is a photo printer and we use it whenever we want to print out any pictures in color. I'm not sure though! But I think they tend to do a better job than the average printer.

Kainaa In reply to IceandSnow [2011-01-08 20:02:56 +0000 UTC]

probably i need a better printer. this one is pretty good but i dont think its designed to make photos. but ill try it with the changed settings and see if that does anything. thanks!
