SO happy with this dragon.  Of all the many versions & color combinations I've done, this one is my favorite.

I inlaid a blue paua shell cabochon in the forehead...just a tiny one but very blue against those gold flames.  I tried to match the vibrant blue of the paua with my own mixture of cobalt & pthalo blue and silver acrylic paint (Liquitex in case you care).  Drybrushed by hand over the black scales...I think it really worked.


It's up in Etsy already.

I'm pretty darn pleased with this one, I have to say.  ^__^

That. Is. Phenomenal. Even though it's my high school colors, it's still amazing. If I had more wiggle room in the budget it would be Mine. But I've already commited my indiscretion for the month in your etsy shop. :-)

Stunning Andrea. Abso-fucking-lutely stunning.

Thank you! I really like this one too. It doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention but I don't care 'cause I'm happy with it.
