What about a new species of penguins, the Rockaronis, a cross between Rockhopper and Macaroni
The docuseries “Secrets of the Penguins” from National Geographic captured footage of several rare penguin chicks for the very first time. Their parents are a mixed-species couple: a rockhopper mother...

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar and hey, I also do oil paintings. This one's a teeny tiny study based on an exercise from a workbook. 8x10 inches, oil on canvas board. July '24
A small, blocky study of a farmhouse on a hill surrounded by trees, with a very active looking sky. Rendered sparingly, many of the trees and other details are single brushstrokes.

An old study from the Fall by Tarsem Singh, which remains one of my favourite films. Also my second time out with oil paints.

#art
Small oil painting of a scene from the Fall. A man in a black outfit reminiscent of a matador stands before a red cloth backdrop. He holds up one bloodied hand with the index and middle finger raised.

#kcd2 has completely taken over my brain.. I feel quite Henry
A semi-realist charcoal portrait of Tom Mckay as Jasper Tudor in the White Queen. He looks faintly quizzical. He's Henry of Skalitz to me, though.

You know when you go to jail in a video game and you get skill decay - i.e. You lose all progress in your current level of a particular skill or whatever? This is how I feel rn about drawing with charcoal

Original illustrations I made for The Woman in Black & Other Ghost Stories by Susan Hill. Of this set, only the chap sat in the church made it into the book published by Vintage Classics. I made loads of illustrations for it during the pandemic & I’m selling them all. Email: nicktankardart@gmail.com
A woman in black funeral dress stands with her hands held in front of her at an open grave in a cemetery of headstones and crosses. The clothing is old fashioned, perhaps Victorian. She is tall and thin and wears a black bonnet, her features are hidden by the hat. Weak winter sunlight creates shadows of the headstones and the figure. A slash of white sky shares the sky with grey clouds. A small section of a church and its arched window on the far right with a tall Yew tree arching over it. A glimpse of a stretch of water in the far distance beyond the cemetery. Bleak, atmospheric and lonely. Black crosshatched pen and printing ink applied with a small rubber roller. A man sits at the end of a church pew, the light streaming through the arched windows behind him making a silhouette of him. The seating surrounding him is completely empty, the church is dark and gloomy despite the two large windows. A hushed and cold illustration with an air of menace. Black crosshatched pen and rolled block printing ink on slightly off white paper. A black & white illustration of two people on a horse & cart making their way along a muddy causeway towards a large Victorian house situated on an isolated island. A cloudy and bleak looking sky above. Bleak and atmospheric. Black pen, watercolour and printing ink on slightly off white paper. An illustration in black pen and printing ink on white paper of a woman standing over a man sleeping in bed. The man has his face obscured by a pillow but he looks troubled, a duvet over him and his wrought iron post bed. The room is old fashioned perhaps Edwardian in appearance. The dark figure of a woman in black looms over the man, moonlight seeping through curtains behind her. Creepy and atmospheric.

The Performer 🎭 a character class for The Hidden Isle.
A musical performer sits with their legs draped over another. They are dressed in various layers, colored in light pinks, yellow and dark purple-blue. They are wearing a yellow hat with feathers, playing on a lute in pinks and yellows. Inside their billowing, peacock like coat there is a cityscape and musical notes drawn.

I'm cooking something #Hansry nation!
Unfortunately I need to go and do my dutch language class homework now, instead of coloring this. But I will continue as soon as I can.

Rough sketch of Hansry fanart that is inspired by the classical painting Paolo and Francesca by Frank Discksee. Henry is kissing Hans's hand, pulling him closer into his embrace. "Paolo and Francesca" by Frank Dicksee

Impulsively agreed to give an hour long lecture on medieval history next month. Oh god it's been so long since I did public speaking 💀🙃

It is my sincere hope that #kcd2 will lure some more people into my field of study, which is of course medieval history and literature. Oh you like the gay knights and their fun outfits? I can show you more, different knights, come take my hand. You know you want to learn Latin.

Why must visiting friends cost one billion pounds every time. Curse me for going to university hundreds of miles away!

While I'm not drawing much (booo!), I'm dropping in to say that I cannot recommend this book, Draw Stronger by Kriota Willberg, enough. It contains advice on posture, ergonomics, fitness and more for the working (or amateur) artist. Not sponsored! I just like making art and dislike being injured.
The cover of Draw Stronger by Kriota Willberg. It is turquoise and has an illustration of two people working at their desks. One is obviously in pain, the other less so.

If in doubt...
Person with long hair shrugs, covered in orange hair dye. Text reads "Guess I'll dye". Deliberate parody of that meme with the old man in the red sweater who says "guess I'll die"
