ACEOFursXChange May 2015 - Vladimirsangel

Actual title - "Avatar of Peace"

I really should make a habit of actually reading the 'preferred environments' blurb on the XChange emails, but when I saw the four-armed reference another artist had done for , I couldn't unsee Christopher in a Vishnu pose with a mandala behind him. I've been on a serious Hinduism kick lately. I find the lessons of that faith very fascinating and its affected my work.

That said, I came far too close to being late with this one, due partly to being neck-deep in the Sergal update on Second Life and having to make constant runs to the store to replace/obtain certain supplies.

I'll be a few days late shipping this as i have to order new cellophane wrappers from amazon. With Prime they should ship and arrive before the end of the week. i was going to clear-coat this like I did my last aceo trade but i didnt want the clear coat muddying the shine of the holographic paper more than it already had when i sealed in the ink for the mandala (otherwise it would've smeared bad). I was originally going to use some cool distressed scrapbook paper for the background and draw the mandala on that buuuuuuuuut i couldn't find my giant pad of paper :C so i used some of this awesome holographic origami paper i found!

I hope you like it, !
