Counting Down The Days

Lotus Pond







This is going really well. I've switched from acrylic to gouache mixed with acrylic medium (to make it waterproof), which is working out really well - I am much more comfortable with the way it handles; I just can't get the same results with pure acrylic. Also, the pigmentation of the gouache is SO much richer...*enraptured sigh*

I am from battles!

Phases

Lotus Pond. Two images - make an average in your mind and you will see its true color.


Ensnared. Experimenting with gouache and granulation fluid.


Break At Dawn. More granulated gouache.


Sunless Sea. And again.


Megature. All the shapes finally blocked. I'm worried that I may have miscalculated the figure-ground weight on the right vs. left sides :/

More Bookmaking

Another book I made; A Truncated Bestiary. The cover has an inlaid collage-piece (the paper substrate is cut away so that the thick cardboard frog lies flush with the box-surface. Nerdy:)
