tashabear Report post Posted October 24, 2008 I'm making this padfolio for a friend and customer in the SCA. The design is her coat of arms. Digital mockup of the design: Carved design: Tooled dragon: Dragon closeup: Partially painted: The lower part of the shield and the background will be black, as well as the claws, tongue, teeth and horn. The eye will be black with a white sclera. (I suggested other colors, but she wants what she wants.) The whole thing will be stitched together with red cord. I used artist's acrylic to do the painting, in titanium white and alizarin crimson. I'm really happy with the results, but I need stiffer brushes to push the paint around. It has a fairly heavy body and soft brushes don't work well to cover larger areas. I just need to fix the light in my kitchen and I'll be able to finish it.
