Experiment 128: Split Personality

Some plaster sculptures. The above was begun like eight years ago, but I didn't finish it until today. The below was created a couple of years ago, but I like it more. I have some more things I'm working on though, and wanted to finish the above before continuing on with new things.

Something different again

I have something that I'm working on, but as I'm not finished I'd thought I'd post something else while I work on that. Some years ago I designed the look of the dragon-and-food and my mother (or rather her sewing machine) did the work :-) (The Swedish words on top means "Erik's kitchen")

Day 51: Water dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Here is the water dragon to finish off the "elemental dragons" series.

I haven't painted in every drop of water. The drops in the background are created using one of openCanvases features, called tones, that makes it possible to paint/draw etc as usual, but only the parts corresponding to the chosen "tone" are affected. The drops in the dragon's mane are done using the same base image, but this time as the nib/tip of the tool I've used.

Day 48: Earth dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Number three in the element dragons series: The Earth dragon. I though earth would be really hard to portray, but I'm satisfied with this, though it could double as a tree trunk dragon too =)

Day 45: Air dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Image three in my dragon series, an attempt to make an "Air dragon". Some parts I really like, but I gotta say that fire is easier to recreate :)

Day 44: Fire dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

The last few days I've been in a pattern theme, now I'm in a dragon theme, so I'd expect more dragons if I were you ;) And judging by the titles of these last ones I'd guess it'll be another "elemental dragon", but not fire.

I just realized that he looks a bit tired, that might be due to me being tired right now though.

Day 43: Elemental dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Hopefully you can see the dragon =) I'm thinking on doing a variation on this theme tomorrow too, but we'll see about that, read on in the next post (On spoons and inspiration) a bit about inspiration. (And just in case anyone wonders, those scribbles on the right-hand side aren't supposed to mean anything, in case they accidentally do mean something I don't wholeheartedly approve of it until I know what that'd be)
