I am still having fun with variations of ‘Nzeppel, crazy or not!

Since I was given the tangle Drawings in my random selection, I decided to make it the large focal point of my tile today.

Then I used Crazy ‘Nzeppel as my background fill. I used a lighter color, gray Micron pen to draw it, so it would recede more into the background. I also wanted an opportuntity to use a specific style of shading for it. I think this style emphasizes the “bubble” more and the background less.

I added the partial aura and the gold dots to the feather shapes for some decorative emphasis.

While this tile is really simple, given my normal style, I really like the results!
