im already annoyed from people talking at me about "flavors" of local models like this
my cat probably knows all my treat puzzle patterns by now. she's probably thinking, left middle left again neal? fuck you
haakon permanently changed my brain into graveyard mode i had a dogshit deck where i targeted myself with a discard spell to get him in the graveyard
"View from the Spindle", an homage to my first Caves of Qud character to beat the game. he had an icy fungal infection on his left hand but i think the composition might've been better if it wasn't there... but thats my guy. looking back at qud north to south was fun to imagine #cavesofqud
this was from a flickr nature photo. the clouds don't look very cloudy in some places but i like the brushy hills and the color of the sky
i like blending skies a lot and i always want to paint that time of day where you can see all the colors in the sky
i like painterly stuff where you can see brush strokes a lot. this one is from a painting i saw on reddit i believe. i don't know why i tried to paint the sky LAST, too many little gaps where i layered things in the worse order lol
i hugely messed up the shadow in the right eye. and i don't think the body looks very... feathery. but he's still a good bird bsky.app/profile/bird...
bonus one also from that art night, from @sambeawesome.bsky.social. i messed up a couple things in the middle of the aurora-y kinda sky giving it some hard edges rather than a blended together look, but i like it! bsky.app/profile/samb...
another art night with some friends - i loooove this one. i feel like i should frame it. i really like that it doesn't go to the borders of the canvas. an image i saw here from a thread with more stuff i probably want to paint! bsky.app/profile/dj-a...
loved this guy. i didn't know they had such... fingery... fingers. i really liked doing a dry fan brush for the tail though i wish i did some kind of background wash. i also can't find the ref...
this was a fun thing on a video that started with putting the paint directly on the canvas brushing in a circle keeping the colors on either side of the brush. i cut a circle from pieces of tape stuck together to keep the moon unpainted, though i don't think my craters made it look very moony
another youtube video, this turned out really well. though i think maybe it isn't clear the foliage on the right is close rather than reflected. also i think the bridge reflection could be wobblier, maybe run some lines through with a wet brush a little or something
this was definitely a late night quick one. kind of fun to mess with though because i'd like to do something all in a single hue one day. all in blues or reds or something
my dad texted me this picture he took of a documentary one morning and asked me to paint it, so i did. i think i must've started from the top instead of bottom because its got extra body on the bottom. the shading of the fur doesn't blend at all. also the teeth kinda aren't there, or the tongue lol
