I did a speedpaint for Day 7: Lost and it is of Nico di Angelo from Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan.Check it out below!
Nico is a lost child and he spent a lot of time being searched for by people. So I thought he would be a good subject… Plus i got a request. Hit 2 birds with one stone right? so here
that is the final picture and here is how i did it
there will be some new stuff coming on the blog! 🙂 watch out for it soon!
Festus the Dragon, Watercolor, Coldpress 2015 by Little Miss Marikit (Maia Castaneda)
I am still on a Percy Jackson Hype. In fact, I should be posting art of the demigods right now ( I could probably do it after this quick post) but I am more excited to blog about this bronze Dragon. Festus the dragon – a character from the Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan. I love that series and I am on the 3rd read. ( well audio book – I love listening to the voices). This bronze dragon was created from Celestial Bronze, and fixed by Leo Valdez in Heroes of Olympus to transport them on their quest.
I painted Festus to challenge myself, really. I used to do a ton of details in my painting and I knew i could do it but had no inspiration to. I needed to move out of my comfort zone (doing busts) and start doing things with background and details. I am pretty confident in painting bronze (old things) so this was a good art piece for me.
I failed the BG though. I should have planned more.
Anyway, Festus was broken in the first book and was reborn into this
