I just LOVE the green-blue mix, so subtle and graceful, it could also pass for peacock feathers :3

Thanks very much!
This is one of my favorites to date, too. I think it helped that I started with a good, strong drawing and worked my way forward from there.

The only things that look good enough are 'black and white' pictures I do XD
Even then it's simple

A beautiful piece. I love how you were able to bring out the swirls of the dragon with the watch gears and other baubles in the border. The gold tiles give the composition a steady geometric look that only enhances the whimsical background and make the scales pop. Very well done. I hope I get to see it in person someday before you sell it. I'm sure it is dazzling under good light.

Thanks very much!
Yes, that was very much an effort to balance blue and gold, organic and geometric. I love throwing them all together. Sometimes, like this time, it actually works!
Well, if this guy doesn't sell at Archon in a few weeks, I'll definitely be bringing it to ConQuest in 2013.

I'm sure it will go at Archon. Good luck and have fun!

now I think it is amusing that the woman who spends 100's of hours pushing the Prismacolor pencils thought that placing some tiles was tedious

Thanks!
Heh - the colored pencil process is fairly organic; I color by feel as much as by sight. Laying tiles with irritating precision, however, requires a different mindset - much more mechanical. It didn't help that the little sticky bits on the backs of the tiles were fighting me all the way through and getting little tiles stuck EVERYWHERE.

right small enough to be what you wanted for the pic, and as a bonus they adhere to the buttered toast law of physics and land butter side down if you drop them and stick immediately.

Dang, that is gorgeous. The colors...I cannot describe how eye-pleasing they are, and how beautiful they look together. And this is so completely original and imaginative and creative, with the border designs and elements especially. The amount of work and effort you put into this is undeniable. If I had the funds, I would totally buy the original off of you. In a heartbeat. Just like that. But I don't....

Thank you so much! What a wonderful compliment. 
I do understand about limited funds; I realize that most folks won't be able to purchase one of my big originals. That's why I started making prints quite a long time ago.

You are welcome.
I just might have to break down and get a print. It would be preferable to having nothing but an image on a computer screen to stare at.

I would say that this is a multi-media success. I love how all the colors tie in so well together, and it's super detailed, but still easy and fun to look at. Lovely work!

Thanks very much!
Yes, I think the detail vs. readability worked out particularly well with this drawing. I'm going to have to *remember* what works for the next ones!
