    A little hesitant to post, considering the amount of talent on this forum… I hope she’s not too similar to anyone else’s PYO, I’ve been trying to not look too close at them so as not to be influenced..inspired? Not sure of the word I want. I don’t want to copy. 😆

    She (yes, she) is still in the works. She will be bright gold on the belly shading to a dark copper on the .. um.. dorsal ridge ? She really is much darker than the pic already, the flash just washes it out.

    How do you get good pics of shiny metallics ? argggh.
    Have to try to build a light tent, I guess.

      I love it– but now when I look away there is a bright dragon shape everywhere I look– oh wait— its fading now 🙂 lol
      I love it– I love shiny/sparkly things— oh can I have the sparkly- can I, can I??? I need the sparkly!

      I think it looks nice. I keep on remembering someone else painting a gold and copper PYO.

        The best way to take pictures of metallic-painted pieces is to back up and do a close-in with the camera. That way, the flash is far enough from the piece and won’t wash out the colors as much.

        Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

          Oh, it looks lovely!

          While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

          Nice piece, mikki, especially considering it’s your first. Well done!

              It looks lovely. Yes, I did paint one similar, but my dragons skin was darker. Yours is very nice. 🙂
