I've Been Feeling Japanese Lately

[jayjay]

So I have been on a Japanese kick lately. 4/5 oz Herman Oak leather. Comments always welcome!!!

I have always enjoyed your work, and this is great too! The colors are fantastic!

If you don't mind, what do you use? Is that Angelus?

Beautiful work!

Fantastic job especially on coloring.

Great job! Japanese dragons are some of my favorite types of artwork.

If you don't mind me asking, is some of that airbrushed? Or is that all regular brush blending?

Also I'm curious how you sealed it since presumably it's going to get some considerable wear and tear from denim.

Thanks!

Thanks all

I use Fiebings dye and I dilute heavily with denatured alcohol. I use an airbrush and build up color one shade at a time. then I use RTC resist and then antique it. I finished seal with RTC or sometimes Saddle Lac.
