Savage Coil- snarling dragon in acrylics

This was an experiment. The paper has been heavily textured with acrylic gels then painted on, then textured again. Areas on his scales flash a beautiful pale gold in the light, and the red halo around his head is a very metallic deep red (not flat like it shows). The blue scales down his neck shimmer in the light.
I need to stop working with these metallic/reflective/iridescent paints! They never scan well (and sadly I cannot get a photo either). They create an effect that just cannot be captured- you gotta see it. All the raised areas have a subtle metallic effect and it's very pretty.
This firey dragon is a strong symbol and is lovely to see in person. He was painted using acrylics on heavyweight paper, in 8.5" x 11" size. The painting takes up the entire surface of the paper. This piece is matted and mounted, then shrink-wrapped to protect it in shipping.
The original- of course- does not have the copyright text or logo on it. Any white you see in the photo above is glare off the shrink-wrapped plastic.
