Description Snow by Night's kickstarter is almost finished!! It has only about two days left and a few hundred to go as I write this! So please go check out the kickstarter! c:

This painting is from a short story I've been working on for Snow by Night. The story is not yet released, but this page can serve as a teaser. ^^ I really enjoy the story its from! It's the sort of dark fantasy legend I prefer painting. Enjoy~

OMFG. I am, as always, hugely impressed with how you can control watercolors. Did you use masking fluid to get the creatures' edges? I've recently started watercolors again. But I'm having trouble getting anything near a dark color without like five layers!

I love the balance of colors and energy in this. As always I'm in awe of your control of watercolor (even though I'm sure you have so many more struggled over pieces that we don't see so I know it's a lot of effort and practice <3)

Your comment is so accurate. >< I regularly destroy so many paintings and have to do them over! I wonder sometimes about other artists, if maybe the same happens to them. There is so much awesome art out there to stare at and feel pathetic about, I wonder if the artists I idolize only show their best work and the wrecked pieces are just put away. Guess I'll never know.

I know I definitely don't show work I'm not happy with u @ Very easy to get discouraged by your idols when you only see their good stuff and not all of their flopping around that doesn't turn out all that great too.
