This is the finished version of Turquoise Conjunction. I worked out the dragon design quite a while back, and recently returned to the project to finish it off with fun background elements.

The dragon was done with Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing and watercolor wash. There are also gel pen accents and assorted shiny bits. The dragon holds a copper/turquoise composite stone.

The background is constructed with fancy scrapbook paper. I included lots of 3D accents. The small, yellowish round stones are desert jasper. The green stones in the upper left quadrant are bloodstone jasper (I liked the deep green color; there isn't much red flecking in these ones). The black stones are color/heat-treated agates. There are glass tiles, metal bits and bobs, and lots of shiny bits. There are additional gel pen accents, also.
