Description Happy Halloween, ~jacij !


I love the Halloween themed exchanges at . Any excuse for jack o'lanterns and bats. And full moons. I have no real idea why this painting turned out circular. 


Here is my depiction of ~jacij 's wonderful kelpie, Desrae. Hope you like it and enjoy Halloween, everyone.


Watercolour base: prisma pencil detailing, fineline ink pens (black and white)

It's fine to say no, but is there any chance you would consider sending me a copy of this file without the watermark in the center? I don't mind if you'd prefer not to. (I just wanted a copy for my collection of beautiful art people have made me )

Sure - but would you rather have the original? I don't mind at all posting it to you.

Seriously? I'd really love that and long as you're sure! If you are ok with sending it, let me know what the postage cost is though and I'll send you the costs via paypal or something.

Course I'm sure. Note me your postal address. And don't worry about postage costs - call it an early Christmas or do me a doodle or something! I've sent things out to Oz before.

No, that's a kelpie. Also, this pony is far more fearsome because she is so Metal.

Still, you did a nice job here.

AAHH NOO IT'S TOO SCAAAAARY!
My thought process while looking at this went something like this: "Mane on the hooves? Wait, those look like tentacles. Are those fish fins? WHAT IS GOING ON."

The perfect thought process while trying to describe a mythical creature. Most of my thought processes on that front do degenerate into "W.T.F."


I am currently drawing velociraptors.

Thankyou! I drew round a dinner plate, a tea saucer and the cap of my sports water bottle to get the right sized circles for each part. Really technical, I know

You make the *coolest* exchange pictures. Gosh, I just love the composition here.

I also love that you're able to work so smoothly with watercolors. I never really figured them out myself.

Why thankyou very much! Watercolours are my favourite: the palette I'm using at the moment I've had since school and I'm really amazed they've lasted this long.

Very circular indeed Love the clouds and the bats, and the glowing eyes of the lanterns. Does the kelpie have something to do with water? It sort of looks like that.

Thankyou! Yes, the kelpie is a supernatural creature from British folklore: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpie . I haven't drawn horses much since I was small, so it was fun to do one with a twist.
