Description A shortly ending nap....
Minccino © Nintindo/Pokemon
9 x 12 watercolor
(Daniel Smith paint, Arches 140lb Cold Press paper)

This is also an illustration of ten million zubats. They are all level five, they are somehow immune to repel, and they are all, EVERYONE ONE OF THEM, waiting for you to wander into that cave so that they can attack you ever two steps.

Commission for Max. c: I saw Max at both ECCC and Sakura Con. XD He went and got water for me. Then he commissioned me to draw Minccino. <3 He asked for a pencil drawing, he gets a painting, for saving me from dehydration. @_@

Painting inspired by ~ CAVES. 8D

I live in a very dry place, and there is a chasm in rock nearby. On a hot day, you climb pine covered hills, the air tastes like dirt and sun ... The pine and the fir close in, the air cools, there is blue shadow only descending into a gap in rocks. The plants turn from gold brown to lush green, the air tastes like water, and then the chasm widens enough to see a stream pouring out of the rock, trickling down several basins, and then disappearing past moss covered rocks and into a cave.

I was wondering: for the grass, did you mask each individual color with masking fluid and go by layer or did you do a layer of light color and then multiple splashes of dark without using masking fluid?

It's so flattering that you like my paintings so much. ;_; <3 It always surprises me very much when you leave a comment. Whenever you comment, I get distracted browsing your gallery. XD I can't imagine how you get so much art done. @_@

Haha, don't let my silly comments surprise you - your work is marvelous. *_____*

Also...I hear it's 99.9999999% certain that we're joining you for Otakon? Ahhh excitement!

99.999999999999% certain?! I think it is 100% certain. 8D Unless someone dies.

Really looking forward to meeting you! I hear you don't really do shows much? I find that so strange, because your work WILL sell! When was the last show you went to?

Looking forward to meeting you too! I hope it's 100%, my plane ticket has been bought and there's no going back.

I had a thing typed up here but it's long and off-topic from your painting. To-be-continued in note-form!

Awwaah, why did I have to find out about you right after Sakura Con?! I would have totally bought something from you :'[
Anyway, gorgeous painting! You made the minccino look so cute!

Aw, it is ok. Sakura is a big con.

looool you are That Person though. XD After every con, I just wait for it. There is always (ALWAAAYS) someone who comments similarly to what you have now said. I was confused when it didn't immediately happen though. (you're late.)

I don't like Zubats very much. 8(

To answer your question in your other comment, I'm using Daniel Smith paint. Expensive, but pretty worth it. [link]

lol thank you for the link!

the grand voyage set is to good to pass up T.T but i just cant justify that in my budget maybe next year lol iv settled for the pearlescence set in stead

I don't know why you're looking at a giant set. It isn't necessary. red, yellow, and blue are all you need to start out with. They've got a set of those three for 10 or 20$.

Jehrico In reply to blix-it [2011-05-05 02:03:33 +0000 UTC]

lol i know, gotta control the shopping bug lol, i have a decent set of Windsor and newtons cotmans that im using im just not that good at mixing, one of my tutors said its bad to mix watercolours another told me u only need a few primary colours -_-', neither of them seem willing to stop and teach me how to mix properly... they keep saying well cover it eventually but im thinking diffrently

blix-it In reply to Jehrico [2011-05-05 03:46:30 +0000 UTC]

haha! maybe you should stop taking lessons from the one who says it's bad to mix watercolors ... the beauty of watercolors is in how they mix and blend! More so than any other paint (because they go down wetter than anything else.)

I think I have about 20 colors of paint. Maybe 25. I can make every color I need from that, and most of those colors I don't think I really had to buy. =___=; But I love paint, so I've bought a lot of bizarre things.

Maybe you should do some mixing experiments on your own ... color theory is difficult, knowing what and how to mix. Windsor and Newton is a good brand. c: (depending on what variation of the paint you bought.) I think I started with a similar brand when I learned.

Jehrico In reply to blix-it [2011-05-05 10:03:11 +0000 UTC]

lol im thinking of changing his lessons to someone who says mixing is good lol

i just wen a counted the paints that i do have, i have 18 W&N Cotemans and 7 W&N Artists' Water Colours (shades that i couldn't get to look right with the cotmans) i used to have reeds, thoses reealllyyyy cheap ones lol i got so frustrated by there horrible mixing (they went brown with 2 colours) that i threw them from a 5 story window into a dumpster lol, quickly followed by a streak of words that definitely turned some heads

I'm more a fan of the anime and manga. I used to try and watch every episode that came out, but after my hope for redemption of the series came to about... -20,000,000,000 points, I just gave up. It disappoints me so much. Things like this though give me more hope!
