Artist's Comments
This was originally going to be a "just for the heck of it" drawing, but as I worked my way through it became more and more complicated... To absolutely no one's surprise, I'm sure. Heh.
Regardless of the complexity of the thing, I was mostly interested in working with the gold paint pen. I don't usually use metallic ink or paint in my work, as I prefer to make the metallic lustre effect with colored pencils. I wanted to see if I could get the same kind of shimmery effect with actual metallic paint. What I found is that while it works just fine when I'm looking at the actual artwork, it does NOT work well in a scanned image. I did some tweaking in Photoshop to try to bring out the "lustre" effect a bit more. All in all, I think this was a successful experiment. I do still prefer to make my metallic effects with colored pencil, and surprisingly it takes about the same amount of time whether I work with pencil or paint pen!
