Artist's Comments

Another experiment;l My watercolors had an amazing party in the background on this one. I just let them do their thing.

I know you're getting tired of hearing it, but this is another one of those that just doesn't display well on the computer screen. It has some homebrew paints I made that use mica powders that shimmer most excellently. I took a photo so you can kinda see what I mean. As you walk past, parts of the painting come to life and glow.
Also, the scanner made the color a little funky. It's not quite such a cold blue. There are nice hits of warm colors all thou ought.


Have a peek:

The areas the sunlight is hitting on the pegasus and sparrow glow a warm gold, and there are blue shimmers in the background, it's really neat.

I drew this one freehand in ink (as usual) so admittedly there are some anatomy flaws.

Ink, watercolor, and gouache, 11" x 15"

That is amazing. I must know how to create these homebrewed paints, this is awesome!

You did a wonderful job, the picture is stunning, especially when the sunlight hits it.

I love how you added the shine to the edges of the wings, and on the sparrow. It just brings it to life. :3

I look at the main picture and go "ooooooo, icy and pretty" then I open up the photo and go "HOLY @(&*$(&!!! SHINEE!"

They're like two different pieces of art. O.O

MAN I love this.
