Telemon learns how to art

Today's drawing classes were pretty chill, so I tried drawing this really cool photo I found on Pinterest. I did ok I think. I could do better, but if I were to post only what's perfect in my eyes then I'd probably never post anything ever again :'D

Been absolutely obsessed with Dark Souls 3 this summer (not the first time), so I made a little drawing of my player character

One of rejected designs for digital print classes that I still like a lot, inspired by one of my favourite 2000s aesthetics - vectorheart.

There were a few more, but the one I posted first is definitely the best in my opinion. I've bee told "the composition doesn't make sense". Which is fair enough, but I still like what I did here enough to post it :)

"The Huddle" Lithography, 15x30cm

A direct tribute to one of my favourite video games of all time - Playdead's "INSIDE".

The quote comes from "pity this busy monster, manunkind" - a poem by E. E. Cummings, which is referenced in the game and further expands on its themes.

Obviously, the main inspiration for this is directly referenced in the title - The Huddle, a monstrous mass of human body parts stitched together that appears in the latter half of the game.

However I didn't want to simply redraw what is already present in the game, so instead I looked for inspiration elsewhere. And I found it in the works of Chris Cunningham, particularly in his films "Flex" and "Rubber Johnny".

And here's the preliminary drawing for this illustration. Honestly, I think I like it even better this way than how it ended up looking like in lithography lol. Might be a skill issue on my side though, I had to draw the entire thing on a stone with a razor.

"Pigeonholing" Lithography, 12x30cm

Initially I had a more grotesque idea in mind, inspired by Playdead's game INSIDE and "Második Galamb" by Venetian Snares, but in the end I decided to do something simpler. I didn't feel like stitching different parts of pigeon anatomy into a giant mass of flesh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two prints with slightly different colors. I made more variations, but these are the ones I'm most content with.
