I'm doing a painting for my niece's first birthday, and her mom requested a dragon.

painting eyes is hard enough when you're NOT painting for a one-year-old who is absolutely gonna be developmentally fixated on faces for the next six months @_@
i may be obsessing a bit

Still got some reflected light to deal with in the hair, but I'm pretty satisfied with the eyes and horns. Really dreading dealing with the fire, tho

@CactuarJoe sure! Not that I didn't appreciate the sheer unsettling hollow single color eye sockets.

Alright... Let's tackle the fire on this bad boy

Me: Okay, the secret to painting good fire is chaos.You gotta get scratchy and wild with this.
My brain: But this is important! We need to be careful! It has to be perfect!
Me: If it's careful, it won't be perfect.
My brain: *scanners-style explosion*

This is how you stop me if I turn into a MONAD-style murderous computer. This is my logic bomb.

Okay, I think I can live with that fire. It's more complex than I intended, but other than that it's fine.

@CactuarJoe Ahhh nice and billowy, that's satisfying.

Now we reach the point where you COULD say okay I'm done, but that would be a mistake
You've just spent five hours working on the painting. You're too close. You can't see the errors anymore. Put it down. Go do something else. Best case scenario, don't look at it until tomorrow. Wait for new eyes.

Art is so fucking stupid. You spend a week painting something and at the end go, "This doesn't look right" and some little corner of your brain says, "Put a little white square over there" and you do it AND IT WORKS
Fucking arcane bullshit 9_9
