Doing this on hot press watercolor paper rather than my usual cold press. It’s a different animal in how it handles the paint in the way I work but I like how you can push the paint around differently than on cold press. Stay tuned. 😊🤙 #wip #dragon #fantasyart #ink #watercolor19 Mar 2025 13:03 +0000at://did:plc:5tv2ctr6usiaaoyeqbihf7el/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkqanpavas2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/fianarroyo.bsky.social/post/3lk6rd7d7mk2yAs a kid, I lived in Japan for a few years, an experience filled with unforgettable memories. One that stands out is capturing Japanese stag beetles and pitting them against each other in battle. I captured that memory by bringing it to life through a pair of combatting goblin knights.12 Mar 2025 14:14 +0000at://did:plc:5tv2ctr6usiaaoyeqbihf7el/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk6rd7d7mk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/fianarroyo.bsky.social/post/3lj3o2325522i“To Heaven From Hell” watercolor & ink circa 2022.
