Artist's Comments

[edit] I feel the need to edit the title and make a little note here. I know this isn't what Maori tattoos looks like, and I really hope I didn't offend anyone by the title. The tattoos just reminded me of Maori design, so that's why I names him such. Apologies for any confusion.

I've been dying to color this sketch for ages, so in preparation for FC I dug it out of my piles to color it up! The designs I added to his body reminded me of Maori Tattoos, thus the title. He's supposed to be a white dragon with tattoos, but the pink feet, hands and nose make him look a little fleshy! XD That's ok, I still like him. I added some red Swarovski crystals to snaz him up a little more and make the original look really cool.

This 10" X 12" original piece will be for sale at the Further Confusion art show!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of
Arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body,
But rather to skid in broadside with a beer,
Thoroughly used up, totally worn out
And loudly proclaiming, "What a ride!"

He does looks fleshy--almost pig-like, around the nose--but I really love the tattoos and the horns. ^_^ And of course it's done beautifully--it's yours. ^_^

If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side up... Then what happens when you strap toast to the back of a cat and dropped it?

FYI: I AM FOURTEEN! PEOPEL ARE SHOCKED BY THIS FACT!!! EVERYONE THINKS I\'M 20 OR SOMETHING!!!
