An experiment with colours; I was told in high school never to use black paint and instead to make black out of the other colours because it would be a more 'true' black.

The blackness of Cataclysm's coat needed the kind of depth only piles of acrylic could provide. Acrylics and I have come to a kind of understanding: I don't try to hard and they won't end up looking like shite. :)

Wow! Really powerful colours and atmosphere. I feel intensely affected by this, like it's drawing me in.

Cataclysm looks so bad ass in that picture. :D I love the way his face and mane look. Very wild and primitive.
