Creature Card #22 Gouache Edition

"Crescent Moon ride" 

Final bid 1010 credits. This card is going to Washington D.C.

Today has been full of activity. I gave the kids a bath and then sent Ash to school. Kaleb and I got ready and went to the post office, Paper Mermaids, and Walmart. I bought more than I came for (evil store j/k) and we went home. It was nearly 2:00pm and I hadn't started my card yet. There was lots that still had to take place in the day and I was quickly running out of time.

I went for faster startup than staring at the card with the minimal time I had to work. The mouth of the creature is mildly adapted from a dragon I saw on a Deviant art page, but after that I changed it and changed it and changed it some more. I'm glad there will be color on this or they would see a lot of change marks.  I really liked how they had drawn the teeth poking out. Now that I look at it that is the most realistic area and then the others get flat... hopefully I can adjust for that with the painting... I guess mine are too straight. Sorry thinking and typing. I struggles with weather to make the nose are the eye or to give it one big cyclops eye or two or... and then I thought of this. Aw it's driving :) Changes the card dramatically from an ominous creature to a playful moment. I hope I can get it to look like a space ship/
