eye_of_toad

Title: Dream Man
Artist:

eye_of_toad
Rating: G
Fandom: none
Characters/Pairings: none
Content Notes: Digital edit (of a pen drawing). He might be some kind of antelope centaur. Or maybe he should have a mermaid tail like a capricorn. My brain left a lot of details out of this idea. It just seemed important that he have a really long neck and rainbow hair.

( slightly larger )

Current Mood: anxious

Title: Ginkgo Queen
Artist:

yhlee
Rating: G
Fandom: original work
Characters/Pairings: an Asian lady with a ginkgo crown :3
Content Notes: This was an experiment! Pencil underdrawing, then Derwent Inktense coloring pencil (Chinese Ink 2030) and Chili Red 0500) activated with water + brush, and then watercolor for the yellows (Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Medium, PY97). I think the Derwent Inktense does go dark enough (with water) that I could use the gold mica paste on top, just, glitter is also impossible to photography. XD

Title: Yarrow and her Dragon
Artist:

minoanmiss
Fandom: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin
