Description Whipped this one out today purely in the interest of not doing urgent uni work. Ah, that glorious feeling of guilt, lol.

The backround is a mixture of acrylics, watercolours and food dye, and the paper was made by my aunt and features various grass seeds..I didn't know if you can see them properly but they're pretty sweet grass seeds.

Pink and yellow parts coloured digitally. Size is A5.

I'm freaked out by the creatures of the deep. FREAKED. Weird giant alien fish with fucked up eyes and mega-jaws, and none of them look like they can take a joke.

But this guy's fine. He's dope actually. On dope. A dope. Dope. DOOOPE. ...Doop? No.

It's late. Hope you likey

Thankyou! Someone told me that I was "good with colour" and I had no idea what they meant, like I thought everyone was. I still think they are

SiberianLizard In reply to Simanion [2010-04-07 16:26:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, what I meant by "good with color" is that you know exactly which colours go well together and make good combinations... some works look over the top, because there are to many contradicting colours... but yours look great

Become some amazing seashell painter. You know... people that paint on them seashells? Yeah, do it! And then sell them to small children and like minded tourists at over priced markets
haha, clearly I LOVE it. (and am jealous of your talent)

Simanion In reply to KelsieZombie [2010-04-15 02:03:00 +0000 UTC]

Well it's recycled paper that I painted with white acrylic, and mixed a tiny bit of blue in. Let it dry. Then I painted over parts with blue and green watercolours and dye

KelsieZombie In reply to Simanion [2010-04-15 05:23:58 +0000 UTC]
