Artist's Comments

For a while, I've wanted to embark on this massive project where I use different dragons to portray each element on the periodic table. If nothing else, it will be a different way of depicting the elements than what you usually see, right? :confused:

Here's the next dragon in the series: Gold.

Here's some facts about gold:

Its symbol, Au, comes from the Latin 'Aurum.'

While in bulk quantities it has a yellowish color, a solution of gold nanoparticles appears red (I've made them! :D).

These gold nanoparticles give red glass its red color.


Info gathered from Periodictable.com and Wikipedia.

That's a really cool idea. Nice dragon, I love his/her red eye. It is very pretty.
