Dragons of the Twilight Dream final

Description

It's finally finished!  This one took me between 200 and 250 hours to complete, but I spread it out over six and a half months.  It is a companion piece to Dragons of Every Dawn, commissioned by Mom.

The dragons are based on the Chinese Zodiac.  From left to right, we have Boar, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Ram, and Horse dragons.

Almost all of the coloring has been done With Prismacolor Premier pencils.  I also used a silver paint pen for some metallic highlights.

There is a purple conglomerate stone in the upper left - I still don't know exactly what it is, but it contains heat-treated turquoise, copper and other colorful bits.  On the upper right, there is a blue-green stone that resembles chrysocholla, but is more likely a variety of jasper.  The tiny round stones that surround it are aventurine.  The rest of the background is comprised of rhinestones of the round and star-shaped variety.  :D  Guys, GUYS, I didn't use GLITTER.  Be proud!

Work-in-progress shots may be seen here in the Dragons of the Twilight Dream folder.

Here is the companion piece:
