Feels like it's been forever since my last post - a month or two, at least! But here is the final "Fields of Gold 2", which, funnily enough, is mostly green. Sometimes, that's just how it works out. And the extra greens worked well with the background base-board, which I'd had sitting around for a decade or so, just waiting to be used.

This is really a bit of an experimental piece. I layered the dragon's body, with his head and closest limbs on the top layer, his tail and far limbs on a second layer, and the background as a third layer. I love the effect, but I realize that it's hard to see in a 2D presentation like this. You can get at least some idea of the layering in the shadows that the scanner picked up.

I didn't use a whole lot of extra bibbles on this piece. All the shiny bits are acrylic rhinestones and metallic thingamabobs this time. I colored the dragon entirely with Prismacolor pencils, and used Prisma markers for some extra shading on the farther limbs to enhance the layering effect. The baseboard is acrylic. The dark green border is matboard.

Here's a detail shot of the head:
