The first of my two very late Secret Santa gifts for puayen. I do hope I am forgiven. >.>
This is Cedna, a former-slave on another planet. I don't much more of the backstory on him, but I did the best I could.
Watercolors. And salt. xD

 Dracontiar (Reply)Total Posts: 119Jan 2, 2008 8:18 pmSee the little dappled bits in the background? Salt does that. Put it directly on the paper while the paint's still wet, and it sucks up the water, and thus some of the paint, around it. Can be used in clumps for texture, or sparsely for a snowy look. Fun stuff. ^^ |
