Description Title: Æóellindi (eh-oh-el-lind-ee)

**NOTE: Because of the large amount of flattery I have recieved reguarding the realism of this peice I feel the need to make even clearer that the reason that the feathers, snake skin, ect look so real in this picture is because they are, indeed, real.**

Well here is my opening piece for this DA gallery. I've kinda been resisting the community for awhile now for one reason or another, but it seemed like the right time and place in my whatchamacallit (life) to have such a thing.

All that aside the piece is the first of its kind I have done. To say that is mixed media is an understatement. Here we find feathers, moss, metal, buttons, snake shed, glue, paper, fabric, beads, and a shred of my sanity. The character was created for the piece, so I couldn't tell you much about him other than that the ears are modeled after that of a gelfling (a mythic creature from the Jim Henson picture The Dark Crystal by request. I imagine I will learn more about him in the next month. The original will be sold at Yaoi Con in San Francisco this October.

I love the idea of completing a drawing/painting with actual items. Gives a #D feel to it. Nice!

what kind of adhesive did you use to mount the material pieces onto the canvas/board/whatever you used?

Combination. The feathers are done with hot glue because for somereason I don't feel much pain in the tips of my fingers and can manipulate it as it sets. Paper is done with rubbercement. Beads and buttons usually take a bit of jeweler's epoxy (I get mine at a local bead store but I imagine a quick drying glass epoxy from a hardware store works just as well.)

Chalk pastel and pastel pencil with a touch of ink to bring out the eye ^^

It's really pretty, I love the intense detail.
If anything, try to brighten it up and spark it
with some highlights or contrast.

Nah. Just the ears *points at karma_koopa for suggesting them when she was still sketching the base drawing* The gelflings have that sort of muzzle that would be fun to draw though... *takes out post it note* Note to self: Draw Gelfling.
