    Just finished this little guy. He looks nothing like I’d intended when I started. 😛 But I guess it makes a certain sort of sense. When I started him in March, he was supposed to be mostly brown and cream with hints of green, because the color scheme I sketched out was inspired by the long-last arrival of the rain, and our brown countryside starting to green. But by the time I finished him, we not only had tons of green but tons of wildflowers too. I think the colors I was seeing outside leaked onto the dragon. 😉

          Your dragons are quite lovely! Very detailed and nice color arrangements. I especially like your lizard dragon. Such a great set of stripe contrasts! And N’Twe’s little purple/violet spots totally fooled me. I thought you’d placed crystals as eyespots on the wings! So nice! Great work!

          Thank you! :bigsmile: Every piece I paint is a learning experience; I’m becoming resigned to the fact that even when I have a color sketch sitting beside me, the paint job develops in its own direction and is apt to leave the original plan behind. But so long as people like the results, then it’s all good. I keep telling myself I can always paint another to look like the first one was intended to. (Heaven knows what direction that one will go! :~ )

          I love experimenting with what the paints can do. N’Twe’s eyespots are a combination of metallic purple and purple interference overglazed with a transparent purple. It took a few layers to get the kind of color I was after, and I’m glad people like the effect! My tastes generally run towards “magpie” and sometimes I don’t know when to stop adding color.
