I've FINALLY finished the infamous pear 🍐!!

Great mistake from my part to think ”let's start from this because it looks pretty but easy enough" forgetting to put my adhd brain in the equation because the damn pear was BORING so it took me FOREVER to finish it (thanks the meds for that!).

I love the technique though, so next oil paint it'll be a fanart u_u/

I love you messy artstyle i love you visible brush strokes I love you textures and rough edges I love you imperfections I love you roughness and colour blobs I love you scratchy sketches and bold stylisation and dirt and imperfections I love you ugly and raw emotion!!!!! ❤️

#i talk sometimes #art talk #i made a tweet like this on twatter ages ago but i've been feeling this a lot lately #also this is the start of me writing more on this blog and not only using it as art because who cares!! i don't!!#I wanna translate raw emotion into colors and shapes. I wanna know where to ignore all details and where to go ham you feel me?#i used to dream about developing a style like for MtG where it looked like a masterful oil painting that oozes realism and details #and i've realised the last two years or so that I would actually hate that for me. I know I wouldn't enjoy doing it. For myself.#it's that pipeline from wanting to be the perfect realistic wotc artist to accepting that I will never be that #instead i wanna learn how to stylise better and get a good brush economy going yknow. I wanna be bolder.#i doubt i'll ever be as incredible as all these MtG artists no matter what anyone says. but it's ok!! i don't have to be!!!#i just luv art man!!

kendalling in oil

#KENDALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#art #traditional art #painting #oil paint #portrait #succession #succession fanart #kendall roy #jeremy strong #eye contact #art school is crazy because youre learning super fundamental concepts that make ur work stronger #but its so hard to apply those concepts in action #like tried to define and simplify the shadow shapes in this as much as i could #and theyre STILL mushy. but so much better than previous paintings have been #art growth is so slow and non-linear and fiddly #but i love his face so so so so much #succ critters are my muses

Spirit Guide

oh, how tender you are in your journey,

how sharp the sting of every wrong turn,

when the path ahead seems endless,

and the light is just a distant glimmer.

each misstep a lesson,

each uncertainty a shadow

that dances in the flicker of your hope.

let me offer you a thread of comfort,

a gentle whisper from the vast unknown,

that even in your confusion,

you are not lost, only learning,

not broken, only becoming.

S.T. 2024

1st painting- fountain of love by Tsanya

2nd painting- the sensitive plant by Frank Bernard Dicksee

3rd painting- midsummer night fairy by John Atkinson Grimshaw

Necromancer painters trapping the dead within paintings by using black oil paints made from the burned bones of their target

#learned that bone black is a thing #kinda cool actually #made me think about how a necromancer might use it #like i guess back in the day they'd burn animal bones and grind them up to make black pigment for oil paints #wizardblogging

A promo sketch! It was going to be pencil and watercolour - but I left them all in Glasgow so, scribbles instead.

So a couple of months ago I was proposing the Monstrous Regiment stageplay at Edinburgh and we didn't get a slot, but reproposing will happen next semester! Fingers crossed!

Also, un-updated promo sketches under the cut! Needless to say, they leave something to be desired...

"Incoming" - original oil painting based on several photos I took at Corona Del Mar some years ago.

#oil painting #my art #i'm stoked this is really the first original painting where i took what i learned in class #but stopped focusing on learning to represent/capture accurately and started working on style #i didn't realize the screen on my old ipad pro was dying #and i had all the photos on that as a reference #so the lighting was too yellow #but the effect actually came out wuite interesting #and i leaned into it

Hey y'all my neighbors had a yard sale and I got an autoharp but I know absolutely nothing about autoharps, how to tune them, or how to play them. Do you have any advice?

#the person behind the yarn #I got a very good deal on it because I told the person selling it I would definitely be learning to play it #and she was like really? and I said yeah I already know how to play a few instruments #and I'm excited to learn to play more #and she was like oh good I got it for my granddaughter hoping she'd learn to play but she wasn't interested #so! autoharp!!#the price was below my Enrichment For My Enclosure threshold #which is my budget I set myself for starting a hobby I may or may not be interested in #purely for the novelty factor of it. new puzzles for my brain to chew on #like acrylic paint or oil pastels #will they be my primary hobbies? probably not! but it's good to stretch my brain a bit every once in a while

The man truly can’t take a genuine compliment 🙄

#my art stuff #digital art #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #this is part of a series I like to call “I’m never settling on a singular detailed artstyle”#I have no consistency in drawing realistic people/characters other than my shapy cartoon style #but I truly don’t get enough opportunity to properly shade anything with art in that style-!!! it always looks weird to me-!!!!!#I think some rude lil worm in my brain is wriggling around telling me it’s a futile attempt at still doing realism #cus I’m one of those “gifted” artists that grew up promising his parents he’ll end up among the big names or whatever #constantly training to become better at art but with realism oil paintings as the goal #you know how it is 😔#I wanna shade my lil funky designs but they never feel good enough to really put energy into or whatever so I compromise with stuff -#- like this where I try to draw characters more accurately while still stylizing them and shading them however I feel like it #which is great and all but I should really learn to give my more relaxed and less perfectionist art a chance #I deserve to enjoy the process and the result without working myself dead #it’s so much easier and rewarding to copy cartoon styles - stylizing realism makes me too anxious of doing it “wrong”#at least cartoon styles give me a goal to reach or a reference to strive towards #man I really should just cut myself some slack altogether #either way - this man is a flustered mess and he’s embarrassed about being called adorable in public or something #being teased in an affectionate way about his sweeter side and stuff #don’t ask why he’s shirtless - anatomy is just a lot more fun for me to draw sometimes #tasteful nudity and all that is extremely gorgeous to me #i need to practice anatomy more cus I just kinda did some shit and went with it this time with a BIT of consideration for muscle structure
