Bleeding Sun

Absolutely cool commission for @grimae of character Zenobia; dragon but also the sun. I had great time to work with this, it's something that cannot be scanned well as I used gold leaf (not real gold sadly but actual metal) for the face and claws, other shiny golden parts are golden Coliro Pearlcolors, the rest is a mix of ink, liner pens, colored pencils, copic markes, Posca markers, some happy accidents and hard work. Gold leaf gives a nice surreal effect for the face that is there but kinda hard to see sometimes, as it was the sun as well.

Some photos to give an idea that this thing is the best viewed in person:

Bonus freehand no ref -doodle of Zenobia, the only thing that is better than the final art:

Creeping Crabs, Supplementals

“Travelers beware, new springtime seasons bring forth new real estate wars. Higher predator activity is on the rise in the eastern lowland meadows as male flower dwelling creeping crabs return to their homeland in the towering buds of titan perennials. The warming days on Arthroterra also mark the beginning of foraging sport events featuring the newest generation of maturing males in preparation for courtship.

Busybody ambassadors best avoid the highlighted areas on your maps as traffic surge all around the Log-stem Meadows, unless you plan on being netted up yourself for the next impromptu game of scavenger hunt.”
