I just love yakitori's drawing of her so much! I set it as my avatar (and not just on BYC, on other sites too)

This is a very small miniature that was painted with over 20 layers of high density pigment paints and finished with glazes and varnishes for the final look.

Reproduction Miniature Fox Skull
3D printed and painted onsite. 3D print was made from a scan of a real skull and then scaled down to about a couple inches. It is very small and fits in the palm of my hand. over 15 layers of high density pigment paints and glazes were used to replicate bone, enamel, and weathering.

All of my following three entries are inspired by the work of Eric Carle, otherwise known as the author/illustrator who created the fantastic "Very Hungry Caterpillar".

Carle's process for creating his illustrations involved painting on large sheets of tissue paper and then cutting specific colors, shapes, and textures from those large sheets.

These clippings would then be glued down to create the illustration. I followed this process for each of the entries listed below. If you zoom in you can pick out tiny pieces of paper making up each image.

Entry #1 Rooster and the Speckled Hen

Entry #2 A Delicate Situation

Entry #3 Saint George and the Dragon
(Fun fact: I did at the same time I was studying Beowulf for a British Literature class )
