The Third Dragon

mizarchivistSo, the third dragon- The Green Dragon- is now done.
My goal for this was to fine-tune the background a bit more to be even less busy. It was a tough choice, as I feared it might get repetitive, but... eh. 'Tis done. I'm VERY pleased with how the lid turned out. I realized after the last one that horizontal lines 'round the lip of the lid are hard to make look good. Vertical- much better. Sort of like stripes on shirts. :) An incidental win on this was I finished this in 4 sittings: 1 to get the base white clay down, 1 to do the dragon itself, 2 for the background.

For my next trick, I plan to do a cropped version on an Altoids tin. Any suggestions on color combos?
