I'm not sure if any of my current readers have actually read this post about Singe my BJD dragon which I posted on my Fantasy blog, 7th August, 2016. Well I was looking at him a few weeks ago, after seeing Jodi's little dragon and suddenly I felt very sad that he had been so neglected.
Back then, I was really into fantasy dolls and I'd had full intentions of painting him, but as usual, I never quite got around to it. I'm sure you're all familiar with the "someday, one day scenario" where you keep putting things off waiting for the right time.
For the past few days I've been so busy with "the kids", which hasn't left me with much time to give him anymore thought. However, now I can see more clearly (having the cataract finally removed), I felt it was time to paint Singe and give him that well deserved attention that he's been so patiently waiting on.
Oh he is so sweet ! I love how you have painted him, he does look like a gentle soul Hugs x
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee, he is a gentle soul, which is quite different to how dragons are usually thought of, it's all due to his upbringing. 🥰

He absolutely looks like a gentle, confident little guy! And I think the matte finish looks nice, a shiny one would probably dim the colors because of the reflection, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia. I have been thinking overnight, that I may add a little more shading here and there with slightly darker colours. To me there doesn't seem to be quite enough definition, I will also add some sparkly pigment to the paint to give it more life.
DeleteI appreciate your opinion and agree with you about keeping a matt finish, he will photograph better without a shiny refection. 😘

Such a fairy-tale and cute dragon. It's wonderful!💗
ReplyDeleteSinge is a very special dragon, both cute and kind. It really was time for him to be painted, I'm pleased you like him. 🥰

Such a cutie! Love the colours you chose for him, and this intense yet warm gaze :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Chiriann, I've always seen Singe this colour (even when he was white) so it was only natural for me to paint him this way. 😊

Look at him! Such a cutie, soft and friendly! The colors suit him and he will keep everybody warm and cozy, just being around. Hugs!
