I had fun coloring him with Copic markers. He was colored to look like copper, bronze and gold. The blue green is oxidized copper.
The background was created using stencils. The water was made by sponging The Crafter's Workshop Mini Texturized Stencil. The sand was created by using a different pattern on this stencil as well as using the Tim Holtz layered stencil Speckled Background.
