Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!!

It was the challenge on the discord channel of @howardlyonart.bsky.social I think. One of my final paintings with water soluble oils, I switched to regular oils shortly after this portrait.

I did a study from the Dark Fae reference pack offered by @howardlyonart.bsky.social. I wanted to focus on the overall mood, lighting, and use of color. Ive been a little burnt out, so this was a fun and low pressure piece to do, and I really like the overall result!

Another work in progress. “Zephyr Flirting with Flora”.
It was more than a year in the planning, including growing the flowers and figuring out how to get the camera a good 15 feet above the ground to reduce distortion.

I had a blast painting my beautiful friend @artmodel-sarah.bsky.social as Tress of the Emerald Sea. She was the original model for the book! We had about 2 hours of painting time.
I love my art community!

@trueref.bsky.social has so many great pose packs (used one for the sketchbook studies pictured below), and I've also been collecting reference packs through @howardlyonart.bsky.social 's Patreon! (used for this painting)
