This project is now complete.
Started working on a series of small desert-inspired paintings that I'll be taking with me to the Reno Tahoe International Art Show in September. Today I get to sand. (Btw if you're sanding acrylic paint, always spray the surface with water, don't dry-sand!)

A short 'n' sweet entry with a couple of fanarts, and some thoughts on posting artwork we're personally not happy with.
Mostly I’m focused on getting the proportions, layout, pose/attitude, final design figured out. I still have work to do on the lighting, final color in oil. it’s hard to color match & soften edges in acrylics the way it dries so fast. I’d like to try golden open if I ever have spare $$$ get 4 or 5 of my main colors I use.
FYI this painting is using Payne’s grey, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, White, & a tiny bit of Magenta.
That’s it. I love a limited palette.

For those of you curious about the process behind the illustration, here are some of the WIP steps! :)
A little art timelapse video I put together from an ink sketch I did of one my original characters Decravia the witch, from Decravia's Diary, a little comic strip I wrote/drew of a witch's diary published in the LoLz anthology / magazine / comic from The77! #arttimelapse #sketchvsfinal #artprocess #drawingprocess #sketching #witch #art #myart

カタカタ言ってるのはインク浸ける音。Gペンも久しぶりすぎて…案の定紙を汚す。誤魔化すのもアナログ画のうち。。。

I've been bad at crossposting my #Patreon bonuses, and I'm particularly happy with this one!

This was when I switched to a screen tablet for art for the first time. Progress for an Aasimar character painting, a couple of artworks that I wasn't happy with and thus don't show, and some good news after the stress of my tablet breaking.
Sneak peek into the early stages of "Tisiphone"! Core ideas taking shape in #krita
, soon to be on canvas.
Obligatory timelapse alert—

I had used metallic gold paint at first which looked good, then applied gold leaf to make the emergency blanket she is wearing, but it was hard to apply well and it didn’t seem to stick well enough, so didn’t look good, and I painted over in non metallic ochre oil paint. I might try to add metallic gold oil paint later.
I did a full under painting in acrylic.
La peinture de ce bœuf musqué m’a pris du temps…
Je voulais rendre compte du fouillis de sa laine, du vent qui la fait bouger, tout en gardant l’aspect mastodonte de l’Arctique
Tu penses quoi du résultat ?

Je me suis offert un scanner ! (un Epson V600)
Je vous montre la différence entre une photo (ce que je faisais jusqu'à maintenant...) et un scan de la même illustration !
Le résultat est tellement plus beau ! Quand je pense que j'ai attendu tant d'années pour m'offrir un scanner...
Et toi ? Comment tu numérises tes créations ?
