Description This is another project-between-projects, just to get me out of super-duper-detailed-dragon-scales mode. I thought I'd try some super-duper-detailed feathery-fire-tentacle-things instead.

I used watercolor, interference acrylic (which did not show up in the scan, as usual, but there is all kinds of iridescence), gold paint pen, a calcite stone (I think), and acrylic shinies.



Original art: sold.

Rachael, every time I get a dry spell, I turn to your page. And you never cease to deliver breathtake-ishness.

LOL - At least 35% start with some variation on "ooooo!"

You should make a short video of it or take a few shiny pictures I'd love to see the shinyness!

That's utterly awesome O_O I'm sad the iridescent acrylic doesn't show up, I'm sure it's epic.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think I'm going to just have to find a quick way to digitally render the iridescent effect. The scanner is no help at all.
