[QUOTE="Cheallaigh, post: 18463283, member: 290819"] first questions... what medium are you using? what wearability does it have? how perm do you want it? both with the dragon and without are sexy, there's just something about burnished/stainless steel and dragons are either adorable or wicked. the downside of the burnished/stainless is it needs to be coated, unless you are willing to let it get an aged patina(kind of a tarnished look). hands have oils and if anything it will show scuffs/oils glaringly, which means a lot of buffing... and scratches can be a nghtmare(i'm a klutz). i've been seriously contemplating taking the paint off mine period for the designs i've been playing with, but it would still need a clear protective coat anyhow. it is a nice clean look... also keep in mind, it will heat up as fast as anything painted black in the sun. i love the tribal dragon on the white background, i'd go a pearlized coating on the white to give it shine and depth(mild 3d look to the dragon), and at least a few clear coat protections on the dragon to blend it in. raised paint chips faster.
