Progress 04/11/26 ✨️🐠🔥❤️

🐠💛🔥✨️

Last nights dreams were so odd. They felt real. Tons of flashes of people's face where I could feel their emotions as if were them. Once these vivid flashes stopped, I had a separate dream of a little pond space with levels to it. At first I saw small fish. Then bigger. Then biggest. One of the biggest fish I saw was very beautiful to me, so I reached my hand in the water to bond with it. It swam to me and allowed me to pet it... then smiled at me very big. I found this amusing and exciting. I ended up getting into this "pond" which turned out to double as a pool at one of the levels. Some of the fish were in the pool, as well. There were a group of women swimming in the pool. I decided to join them. When I got in the water the pool started to overflow and spill out of all sides as if I were immensely dense. As I went to swim the pool seemed to be more and more crowded with the bodies of other women. Eventually to the point of anxiety for fear of not being able to move or get out.

First present wrap of the year. Forgot how I did things a few years ago, so there are a few mistakes. But I actually quite like the quirks! 😅

Not the best photo of it but - Finished commission of another coworker's pet. No background for this guy, either, per request for a "plain, sky blue" background. Happy to be finished with this one, I'll say! I have quite a few other commissions and personal paintings lined up at the moment, and life is quite busy.

I only wish I had a little more time to create a more interesting background, but the dog would have to be touch dry for that, which might not happen before her bday.

Message me here, directly, for inquiries. 😊

Edit 07.10.23: Another update on weekend yeezus progress (third photo). Definitely going to be changing some things about that hair, I think. Eyes will be next. Nearly had a meltdown over the throat shadow (which I have come to like for the most part but may tweak just a bit). Welcome to art! 😂 I do wish that I had access to my full scope of supplies at present though, as this is a painting that would be much better suited with some glazing. ESPECIALLY for that throat shadow. But alas, I am making do with the supplies that I have.

Lightening [warm up sketch]; Acrylic on Canvas Paper. 

I think I’ll call it finished though there’s so much more I could do. It was never meant to be a full-blown portrait, just a warm up. So I’m fairly happy with the turnout. :) 

It’s been quite a while, my friends. I underwent a drastic life change this year and will still be in the process of finishing that up until spring. But I took a couple of hours today to doodle and warm up from a year without artistic expression. I’m sure I’ll add more to it / continue refining it. But for now, here’s something. ☺ Just a simple mechanical pencil on printer paper. Nothing fancy. E.L. He has kind eyes. I enjoy when they’re aimed at me.

Today's progress on Aloy from Horizon: Forbidden West

Background progress shot. ☺ Featuring delicious Michael Harding oil paint. My favorite brand. 🥰

Hello friends! Here is a quick preview of the preparation for my next painting. I hope you'll stay tuned for the real deal. :)  *This sketch depicts a preview of what will become an oil painting timelapse for the video game Horizon: Forbidden West (the sequel to Horizon: Zero Dawn) [Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment] for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5. (PS4 , PS5).

I know it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted much but I promise to be back soon! The holidays have been a little crazy.  For now, have a quick 10 minute sketch of my old friend Cam’s dog.  We reconnected tonight after not speaking for around 6 years or so. We swapped selfies to show each other how we’ve grown and this sketch stems from my hyper-fixation on the judgement from his dog, Artemis, in the background of his photo. 😅
