Artist's Comments
It's time for more original work for the con. I'm digging into my stacks of old paper.
What to say about this.... It's another member of my disappearing dragon series. The paper was made years ago with textile ink, leaves (to make the pattern) and salt. My visual idea was to have a creature (creatures) breaking a liquid surface, and to use an opaque paint to signify form above the water, and move to a transparent medium when addressing objects beneath the water. The result was very successful (and I should like to try it again) but the paper fought me all the way. Salt has a tendency to get into the fibers and disrupt paint, especially watery paint. The salt was accidental. The paper had absorbed it from some other paper sitting in the pile. But well, these things happen, and it turned out well regardless. I wish I could work a bit more on it, but the convention looms, and I need to get onto other things. I'll price it high, and if I bring it home, I'll work on it some more. Thanks everyone who looks/faves/comments :3 |

If I can be anal here, it would have looked even better if the purple dragon a slightly darker color since it seems so close to the color of the water...but it still looks cool, don't get me wrong!

It's a bit hard to use the salt, unless you put it over when you're still painting x___x
well at least for the effect I want to get. I really like when you use salt and alcohol, I need more hands to do it all at the same time D:

Sven and Ole went out duck hunting, and they worked at it for a couple hours and finally Sven says: \"I wonder why aren\'t we getting any ducks, Ole?\"
\"I don\'t know. I wonder if we\'re throwing the dog high enough.\"
