Description My muse is: chaos, magic, and wildfire. A butterfly effect. 

Made for the contest over at GrimGloomTale - I hope I get this in in time!

Watercolour paint, some gouache.

I would not even have the first idea how to do something like this digitally. And I have the watercolour paint all over my sofa to prove it. Glad you like it!

Opacity is like one click in Gimp or Photoshop. I can't begin to imagine how much time you spent doing with watercolor! But the illusion is ASTONISHING. I wonder whether it feels more alive because it's watercolor.
Also, we've got to talk again someday!

I always feel that traditional artworks have more life. Maybe it's because they're rough around the edges? Or maybe I'm just biased because it's the only medium I can really do  

I was thinking about you just this morning, actually, in a sort of "haven't heard from Ewige in a while" way, and wondering how your outfit was coming along.

Heh. Since all of my V4V projects are on hold now, I too think about you every now and then, in a sort of "I guess I joined her in the Never -Ending-Projects Club" way! To appreciate the irony of that, you must see my drawing. Gah. I'll remind you of this convo when it's finished.

It took me all of February to finalize our department's costumes/accesoires for the carnival (and we won the first prize again! I was the Witch King ). March was a tough month at work, and I've been busy with a private must-do kind of project now in April... but I'm planning on getting back to my costume already next week. I'll report back when I see all the stuff that went wrong with my hat! lol

You've done a good job on the composition and colours - and the transparency's very nice, too.

Thankyou! (and who can resist a bit of mythic Loki? I certainly can't: fav.me/d4gr2w8 )
