Fireshaman

A wanted a new painting onto my wall. So I painted one. ^_^ I already had these three in a line on the wall so I wanted something similar but still different:

(One still to go, the next one will be Zardra. ^_^)

This is of course my firespirit Yvain. He never smiles, so he looks a little sad... like always, but that's the way he is. ^_^
The runes on his skin are not tattoos, they are painted there for some sort of ritual (or a photoshoot, lol). If someone knows how to read runes, you can probably figure out what they say.

Like the previous ones, this one is an A3 size and drawn/painted with a black marker, black indian ink and water-soluble coloured pencils. I wanted this one to fit the wonderful shaman drum (3.bp.blogspot.com/-8G3UV9J4HTo… that my brother made me, so that's where the theme to this picture came from.
I usually scan all my traditional art, but when they are A3 size, they have to be scanned in three parts and it's such a time consuming task with all the cleaning afterwards, that this time I decided to take a photo. And it didn't even lose colour, so I'm happy. ^_^
The picture took about a day to make. Started in the morning and finished the same night. Worked almost all Sunday.
