New painting. Both the scan and the photo had their own peculiar failings. I went with the scan, but you can see a photo here [link] both look far more textured than the real painting because of the reflective quality of the paint. I'm going to try to get a better capture but in the meantime this is what you get
Painted with FW acrylic ink and a little bit of golden acrylic
Very nice - and without seeing the original I don't want to read too much into it, for your comment on the texture and reflective paint, but this makes the fire (magma?) glow really stand out. Excellent drac - can't get enough of them.
The burn effect around the edges is brilliant. There's not much I can say, I'm sure you've read it all before, it's beautiful. The touch of warmth beneath him is nice and gives him an unwelcoming look despite the fact his expression comes across as relaxed/tired.
I like the dark and cool shading above him, like he's in the mouth of an active volcano during a summer night.
