Artists, quote with your fanart!

A highly stylized painting of Noctis and Ignis from Final Fantasy 15 (FFXV) that really got away from me

Artists, QRT with your style range! I had a good time with the alt text for these, it's been a strange and storied time as an artist.

Watercolor and ink and acrylic painting of two alien figures snaking through flora and fauna.

Large painting of a wraparound cover of a novel. Two figures embrace, ensconced in foliage and thorns. The central figures are flanked by abstract elements that hint at aspects of the story yet to be learned.

A disconcertingly cutesy splash image done for an old gig about 10 years ago, in a very "social game" style at the time. A mother has a picnic with her child on top of a hill, pouring tea for both them and her daughter's innumerable stuffed animals and toys. I did my best to find my joys where I could, here, in the blues of the woods and atmospheric perspective, and in the silhouette of that little yellow stegosaurus.

Four miniature paintings done over a decade ago. First painting is a darkened stylized movie theater that is watching a movie about two dinosaurs fighting. Second painting is a row of movie posters that read "Tomb Shark," "Space Angst," and "Night of the Wolf Prom." Third painting is a fruity drink precariously balanced on the edge of a chair, overlooking a sunny beach. Fourth painting is a door opening to some expensive firecrackers.

went outside and drew my favorite tree today

I unshockingly could not find a gif, but an unusual one is "Good Night, and Good Luck," starring David Strathairn (I was really into Cold War history when I was a teenager, and it came out at the exact time I was reading a lot about the subject).

serious reads (important!) vs my new haul of swords and kissing books

saltmarsh@thesaltmarsh· Apr 16

I love the feelings of texture and layered emotion here, really wonderful work ❤️

Picked this up from the library because I’m tackling the daunting task of trying to understand how human beings learn, and how I can design to embed learning, and retaining, and understanding in what I do. If any scientists, neuroscientists, teachers, etc have book recommendations, PLEASE send!

I don’t usually do a Con Haul, but Anime Boston had the goods. Made a pilgrimage originally to get an art book by @alexsiple.bsky.social , and ended up with some great art and also listen, I love Resident Evil. And look at those mini paintings! (Business cards included so you can find the artists!)

saltmarsh@thesaltmarsh· Apr 4

Anime Boston continues to deliver on the kind of art and merch I care about ( card art by @aiboneida.bsky.social , card holder by chu.charms on Instagram )

A picture of Victor Gideon from resident evil and sconce in a Sakura patterned photo card holder. The art card is by Aiboneda, and the card holder is by Tiana Chu 💕

Another quick portrait study. Trying to simplify color fields and then bring luminosity back in.

went to get my hair cut and was like "give me lesbian and 90s boy band vibes" and she gave me the Leon Kennedy, 10/10

From Turgenev’s “Virgin Soil”— area man hears a harpsichord for the first time and is *horrified*

From Turgenev’s “Virgin Soil”—

“In one corner of the drawing-room there turned out to be a diminutive piano, which not one of them had noticed at the beginning. Snanduliya sat down to this "harpsichord," struck a few chords.... Such toothless, acid, wizened, crazy notes Nezhdanov had never heard before in his life; but the old people began singing promptly:”

Devoured @simonestjames.bsky.social ‘s The Broken Girls today (yes, the whole thing) and then immediately took out my sketchbook to draw the lead characters as I saw them in my mind’s eye

Mountain study

Photo study in acryla-gouache. Practice.

Painting of a mountain range with a figure and a yak walking over the snow. Done in acryla-gouache.

you can just make your own tokens in Magic the Gathering

Picture of magic cards. The card of interest is called “Spawnwrithe,” which can make copies of itself every time it deals damage to its opponent. The artist has drawn shitpost versions of the card on scraps of paper for each copy of itself it has made.

Also this was a brutal first creature to play before my poor partner had summoned anything.

not an art post, but Dimitri really liked the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry

Hello #portfolioday! My name is Em, I’m a traditional and digital painter who loves the intense, the romantic, and mythical. I’m focusing on high-intensity stories and romantic work, looking forward.
