Folktale Week 2023 - Lost

This piece, like all the others, is a late submission, but for Lost, I decided to depict a part from the Polish fairy tale The Bear in the Forest Hut. Essentially, this maiden had just been abandoned to a dark and expansive forest thanks to her envious and cruel stepmother and her lazy and entitled stepsister, who twisted her father's arm into making her wander the world alone with just some bread. Little would she know that her fortune would turn around soon in this tale that is part Mother Hölle, part Beauty and the Beast.

Lady in Green

Hello all, and welcome back!

I know that I haven't been as active as I used to be, but I will try to post more of my artwork and be more productive throughout the year.

Although I started the sketch in December, I finished this piece on January 6th, 2024, and it was only recently that I finally scanned the picture. This is also the first time in a long time that I used watercolor pencils from Crayola and watercolor marker brushes. Given how long it's been since I used watercolor pencils and marker brushes, I think it turned out well.

I confess, I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea to do or not, but after some consideration, I decided to compile my submissions for the #fourrealmschallenge into one mega post. For the mood boards, check out the individual posts for #realmofcandy , #realmofflowers , #realmofamusements , and #realmofsnow . I would like to once again thank @baidu_life , @rahas_art , @essasketch , @aimee.illustrates , @cynthia.illustrations , @lmepaperco , @emroseillustrations , and @cateillustrates for hosting this challenge this year. I had fun coming up with new designs for these ladies, and I hope to potentially do this again next year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #fourrealmschallenge #traditionalart #traditional #art #realmofcandy #realmofflowers #realmofamusements #realmofsnow #realms #realm #candy #flowers #amusement #amusements #snow #flower #artchallenge #challenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CX32BhgLnBy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello all, and welcome to another round of the Four Realms Challenge! Last week on the #fourrealmschallenge , I designed a character for the Realm of Candy. Today’s realm is the Realm of Flowers. I wanted to go with something vibrant and influenced off of Christmas flowers this time. I based some parts of the outfit on the primrose, the Christmas Rose, juniper berries, holly, edelweiss, the bleeding heart on the vine, and of course, the most famous of Christmas flowers, the poinsettia. I think as a name, Edelweiss might suit this character best. The following hosts include @baidu_life , @rahas_art , @essasketch , @aimee.illustrates , @cynthia.illustrations , @lmepaperco , @emroseillustrations , and @cateillustrates . Next Sunday’s realm is the Realm of Amusements, and I look forward to what I come up with next Sunday. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #art #characterillustration #fourrealmschallenge #nutcracker #thenutcracker #artchallenge #challenge #character #fourrealms #christmas #realmofflowers #flower #flowers #edelweiss #holly #primrose #poinsettia #bleedingheartofthevine #juniper #christmasrose #rose #traditionalart #traditional #tombowmarkers #tombow #marker #christmas #xmas https://www.instagram.com/dkayproductions/p/CXIC2q1JDW0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello all, and welcome again to another post! I decided I wanted to do the #fourrealmschallenge this Holiday season, and essentially, you create a character based off of the moodboards provided by the hosts of this challenge. Today’s realm is the Realm of Candy. I decided to utilize pastel colors in this picture, as well as lollipop, cotton candy, and candy cane imagery in the outfit and overall design. It was difficult to choose a pose, but I’m glad that I was able to sort this out quickly. I think Candida might be a good name for this Candy Realm resident. She seems quite soft and thoughtful. The following hosts include @baidu_life , @rahas_art , @essasketch , @aimee.illustrates , @cynthia.illustrations , @lmepaperco , @emroseillustrations , and @cateillustrates . Next Sunday, I hope to submit a piece for the Realm of Flowers.

This post’s March of Robots focuses on Car. I’ve had several ideas originally planned for Car, but I ended up doing a more simplified robot with specific car parts instead due to time and mental energy. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #art #marchofrobots #marchofrobots21 #marchofrobots2021 #robot #traditionalart #traditional #car #parts #carparts #steampunk #drawing #carmachineparts #machine #parts https://www.instagram.com/p/CMssHDtBRYe/?igshid=1tc3eoxdg58t6

Mindless This piece originally started out as a piece for 2019's Inktober for the prompt Mindless. However, I never finished it until today. This took me about an hour or so, but it actually felt like minutes. Overall, I'm satisfied with how it turned out, and I would like as much feedback as possible for the future. This was inked and colored with Micron pens and Tombow markers. #dkayproductions #dkayproductionsart #art #mindless #inktober #practice #inking #ink #traditionalart #traditional #tombow #tombowdualbrushpens #micron #micronpens #pens #micronpenart #pen #marker #markers #dualbrushpens #pen #dual #brush https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpptVkBuMb/?igshid=l027tmh31j48

Today's March of Robots focuses on Box, or in this case, a robot based off of a Boxer dog with a box-like shape, that also has a glowing light here and there. The color distribution could have been better, but I like the overall composition of the piece. #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #art #marchofrobots #marchofrobots21 #marchofrobots2021 #marchofrobots21day5 #marchofrobots2021day5 #marchofrobotsday5 #box #boxer #boxing #dog #robot #fighter #fighting #light #lights #lighting https://www.instagram.com/p/CMEKZXmhnNo/?igshid=1x26w71rb9tsz

Hello all, and welcome to the third edition of the Four Realms Challenge! I apologize for being late with my most recent submission for #fourrealmschallenge . Consider this a mea culpa for the Realm of Amusements. I confess, this piece hadn’t turned out as well as I would have liked it to. I could have chosen a different pose and a different color palette, but I like this denizen’s attitude and demeanor. Her hoop also evokes a Christmas ornament. If she had a name, I would like to call her Zaraza, or Zaza. The following hosts include @baidu_life , @rahas_art , @essasketch , @aimee.illustrates , @cynthia.illustrations , @lmepaperco , @emroseillustrations , and @cateillustrates . Next Sunday’s realm is the final of the four realms: the Realm of Snow. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #art #characterillustration #fourrealmschallenge #nutcracker #thenutcracker #artchallenge #challenge #character #fourrealms #christmas #realmofamusements #realmofamusement #realm #amusements #holly #amusement #circus #clownmakeup #acrobat #dancer #hoop #traditionalart #traditional #tombowmarkers #tombow #marker #christmas #xmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CXcspKxp_h6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blue and Red Hearts I wanted to do a color experiment with some of my markers and go back to working with shapes - especially overlapping ones. I drew out a bunch of hearts, and then I used all of my micron pens so give each of them a different lineweight. Consider this an experiment in abstraction. #dkayproductionsart #dkayproductions #art #traditionalart #traditional #heart #hearts #bluehearts #redhearts #redheart #blueheart #blueandredhearts #blueandredheart #tombowdualbrushpen #tombow #micron #pigmamicronpens https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4E_tABo36/?igshid=1xevezqjrbmjg

So on Saturday, I finally got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and during an art session with @17lemonpies and @kaliroi_is_drawing , I came across this charming #dtiys from @bofenglin in his collaboration with @yellow.images . I feel like I could have done better with coloring the woman's body, but I'm generally proud of how I drew the hair and the toucan, and the overall painterly quality of the piece.

I confess, Chair, for March of Robots, was one of the most challenging pieces I’ve done creatively. I wasn’t quite sure how to approach a chair as a robot, and even though I collected a bunch of different resources to get some ideas, I ultimately decided to make a robot based off of one of those dryer chairs you’d find in hair salons. I’m not sure if I executed the robot part of the prompt properly, but only time will tell. In hindsight, I could have drawn a robot in a chair, or even a motorized wheelchair, but maybe next time I could try it out.
