pipsxlch's PYOs- new old stuff

[Prezaurian]

I can’t find my old PYO thread, suppose it got lost in the forum transfer. I do still have all the photos, I can bring them here- but I’m nowhere near as good as the other painters. And I never could figure out how to post to the gallery.

Nonsense! You’re an excellent painter. I especially enjoyed seeing your latest dragon. And even though I don’t care for the foops, the mastiff coloration looks really good! I especially like the blue and green accents with the natural coloring. I wish you luck in getting the funds and time to pursue PYO painting as a hobby.

You can check out my work on dA & Redbubble!

Okay, computer brainfarted on me and wiped everything I typed before, let’s try this again…

Thanks, guys, for the sweet comments and confidence building! You have no idea how much it means to me and how much I can use it right now. Sorry I haven’t been around to comment much recently, this class I’m taking is KICKING MY FANNY.

My last-painted PYO is a keeper. Since Amstaff was asking about how other people paint their pieces and how they achieve their color depth, guess I could post this guy’s story- he was painted about the same time my daughter’s small dragon was, and since people were asking for progression shots then, I took a bunch.
My mom was complaining after I painted my daughter’s dragon that I hadn’t painted her anything, So I painted this guy for her, but she really didn’t like him. Therefore, he ended up sold to a forum member (who did). I was thinking kind of a water dragon with his colors, even though there’s no blue but for some interference really.

This is white base coat, blackened eye sockets and first flush of lightest colors being used.

Here I started adding the first layer of the next darkest colors- for Amstaff’s question in color saturation, notice how pale and dull they are.

Continuing to layer thin washes of color.

Guess I forgot to take some for awhile, here I’ve mostly finished working on the base colors and am working on blending in where necessary (if you work with REALLY thin layers of paint blending comes so much easier, it’s almost just there as you work from one shade to the next) and adding in details.

The blue accents on the Keeper look lovely against the green. I hope you find the time and funds to paint more.

Thank you so much for posting these progressive shots ! I can see now how it does take time and multiple layers to build the colors up. Your final result is beautiful! Im can only hope with time and practice that I can achieve something as nice as this ! 😀
