Year of the Dragon

Say goodbye to the Rabbit, it's the Year of the Dragon! Happy Lunar New Year. I'm back to celebrate with this new body painting featuring long time Patreon supporter Chris, and artwork inspired by....

If you guessed Spirited Away, you would be correct!

The model wanted to wear a Dragon Mask they brought to connect with Haku, the character in the movie who could shift into a beautiful flying Dragon!

Though here is an adorable photo of them early in the process!

Of course, we couldn't forget No Face! In the most unexpected place!?

Here is another progress photo above to show you the work during that stage!

What did you think? Hope you enjoyed the art!

Did you know this year specifically is the "Wood" Dragon? *giggle*

Did you know sometimes I hang out with the model during their trip? Chris took me out to dinner, and I had one of the best meals I've had in YEARS at a place called Elements. I have to say that I'm very grateful for the people who take me out to eat! <3 It's a lot of work to paint someone!

I haven't had Crab legs in FOREVER and I got to enjoy some, along with a feast of other treats. Was a great memory, and I'm grateful for the experience.

Anyway, thank you for reading, and for your support! Just know I'm so appreciative I wake up every day and I make art. Nothing else I want more. Even a relationship comes second! :P

Know how that is, with art? <3
