ok so this guy is a little funky….. i have painted my personal sculptures for many years in a color pattern i called red gold, (a mix of many different shades of golds and coppers over black) so i just had to put it on a dragon. his body scales gradate from copper to gold, and underlined with a dark tarnished copper, but that gradation is a little hard to see in the pics. its funny how there are all these the “red golds” these days and how different they all look! normally i leave my sculptures in an antiqued state with it, but this dragon seemed to ask for it to be a little more refined. he came out looking like i’m not quite sure what… weather he looks like gaudy italian home decor, a wild turkey’s fancy feathers, or autumn themed…. thoughts? is he funny looking or ugly? i have had him 3/4 done for ever and finally got around to doing the last tweeks on him.
anyhoo, the little bugger is going up on ebay tonight, i need more room on my work desk, its overflowing!… i’ll post a link once i get him up……

[/img]I really like this color pattern. I don’t think he’s gaudy/ugly at all. I think I like the dark (black?) around the lighter color scales. Very striking. He reminds me of something, but can’t quite put my finger on it. I hope he sells well for you.
yeah, he reminds me of something too, i can’t figure it out! closest i could think of is pheasant or turkey neck feathers… ack! i’m still stumped!

It actually reminds of black hills gold…
Reminds me of something too… hmm! Aguigh I don’t know what though. Some sort of Indian art… or pheasant feathers maybe. Hmmm!!

My art: featherdust.comI don’t think it’s gaudy in the least- I personally love all of the mtallic shades you’ve got in there!
awwwwww thanks folks! i really wasn’t sure about him for a long time! i was really waffling about how he looked or moreover just what he looked like…then there was the whole black scale accent thing…. i had it originally on the body scales but it was too intense, so i put on the dark copper instead which really helped.. but in some places having the black underlining on the scales makes me think of a checkered taxicab! lol! i think i’m thinking too much though… but i like to let my pieces sit a week or more after i do them to let them settle and then see if i want to make any changes..
here’s his link just in case… http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160128245120&rd=1&rd=1
