With no thanks to all the crickets, I've taken a whack at coloring ideas anyway. (*chuckle*) Please check the full-view; it's kinda longish.

I was pleased with the orange one, until my friend suggested I had better not have orange if I wanted this 4-leaf clover dragon be at all a St. Patrick's Day illustration. So I added the Guinness and gave up that idea. (OK, so there's a certain ironic humor, and I'm not above that, but still.)

The blue was just too weak. Even in dark blue I'm not sure I'd like it. Not for this anyway (I'm very fond of dark blue. With sparkles. ... hmmm ...) And there's not enough room for a flag on the card anyway. (I forgot to mention this is an ACEO ATC, or will be when I'm done.)

The one on the right used to be pink. Right out. But a stout-colored layer over pink -- that has potential! Now if I only knew jack all about shading using paints, I might be getting somewhere.

Help WELCOME! (Yeah, I'm talking to you, cricket!)

*chirps*

I like the one on the right the best of these. Would a green dragon be too much green?

Hiya cricket!!

I thought a green dragon would lack sufficient contrast to the clover. Texturally it could be OK, but I thought veering toward and experimenting with the bronzey stout might work best.

Maybe I'll print up and fiddle a few more.

... er eventually. If I let my kiddo stay up late watching Blue's Clues again or something sketchy like that *grin*
