Mica powder mixes beautifully with transparent airbrush paint, imparting a lovely warmth. Note to self: next time, genius, do your mixing in another room, and remember to wash your hands. That shit gets everywhere. I’ll be dealing with it 5 years from now.
Finally. After what seems like a thousand coats of stinkhorror. Vala’s given up on me breaking out the paint. Black backgrounds are dramatic, but what a pain in the arse. Of course, if there is a pain in the arse way to do something, I’m sure to find it. The Simurgh is 25″ x 12″.

I avoided the Aberdeen Bestiary, because I’d be trying to cram everything on, but I forgot about the mythical Halcyon, and she is another absolute.
Getting goldwork and detail done today. Click for full size. This morning, Vala and I started on the same note, by getting our hair good and gessoed. Such fun.

Okay, here are all the birds I chose. I don’t think I can get them all on, so if there are ones you really like, let me know! The only other absolute right now is the Simurgh, the only question is which one? Those are the last two photos. I’m leaning toward the last.
