This is Jazzdragon 20, the last one I have made so far. I made it in 2015 (yikes! Time to plan some more!). This one I managed to finish in time for Cinco de Mayo that year, and realizing that I would have it finished in that time frame informed my color and design choices. So he's bold red, gold, and green with Mayan design elements. (Yes, I realize that I should have been using Aztec design elements if I'd wanted to use historically accurate visual elements. I liked what I had in my Codex Borgia and decided to go with Mayan motifs anyway.)
For the dragon, I used Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing. The rattle heads of the maracas are jasper. The Mayan letterforms are tooled into repousse metal, then painted with an acrylic/soap mixture (this lets the color stick to the metal; it's then spray-sealed). There are lapis lazuli beads, acrylic tiles (the small squares), acrylic bubbles, and various fancy stickers (musical notation and other small decorations). The whole mess is mounted on a poured acrylic + glitter background.
