The house belongs to no one.
It appears when the road grows long and the night turns cold.
Its doors open willingly. Its lights glow warmly for the lost.

Gods save the fools who trust its welcome.

New to bsky, not sure what to write. Hi Hello!
Here's a painting study done for the challenge in our discord server few days ago. ☺️

#bskyartist #art #painting #digitalart #painter #blueskyart #artistsonbluesky #artistsonbsky #artstudy #artchallenge #newtobluesky #stilllife
A detailed painting of a still life scene. A hand of a man holding a peeled orange and strong sunlight hitting them both, creating a strong but beautiful contrast between colors. The main focus of this painting are subsurface scattering and bounce light(I recommend searching these terms up), they create interesting and saturated color transitions on the subjects of this painting. The colors of the orange go from white, yellow, orange and almost to red-orange color at the darker parts, away from the direct sunlight. The colors of the hand go from white, to fleshy reds where the subsurface scattering happens, to dark reds in the shadows and muted flesh tones on the rest of the hand where the sunlight isn't hitting it directly. Where the hand is holding the orange, bounce light from the orange affects the color of the hand, turning the skin slightly orange. The man is wearing a long sleeved, red hoodie or blouse, that is also being hit by the direct sunlight at the top, but unlike the hand it's out of focus. The background of this painting is blurred, as it was in the reference, creating a direct focus on the subject of this image.

Practicing on mech design, not really my core field but it's always fun to dab into it.

Warming up day. New bottle of ink. Been away from screen and getting back into it. Also how the hell have I just started to find out about these Pilot Parallel pens. Those pens are so freaking fun to draw with.

A drafting table with a couple pages of sketches in pen and ink on it from a artist desperately trying to get back into the swing of drawing almost everyday. There's a bottle of new rollerball ink on the table and a book ref with landscape photos on the table opened up for inspiration in the back.

time for ye olde post. First is a page that I believe is mainly studies from the amazing Edgar Payne in Gouache. The other is just a whole bunch of super small washe's messing around with textures/colors. I scanned that today so I can maybe use that as overlay in other pieces :D

#art #studies
A collection of 6 studies I did from the artist Edgar Payne. Works consisted of California landscapes ranging from mountain scenes to views of the ocean and sailboats. A page consisting of very small square abstract washes done in gouache.

After being off for a month dealing with personal stuff and the holidays, I'm back to freelancing on Tuesday. Warming up a bit by digging through an older unfinished project of mine called Stellastar.

New fude nib pen, turns out they come in different degrees and I was drawing with the harder one before 😂

#art #sketchbook
Various sketches drawn in blue ink In a blue traveler's notebook held open by brass clips on either side with a sailor fude nib pen in navy blue. Drawings consist of cute ghosts, demons, trees, flowers, and little scenes of every day life featuring vending machines, alleyways and streets. All the drawings are arranged in an aesthetic manner on the pages.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

The #RandomGameSaturday is a old one maybe some have heard of. It's a game called "Sewer Shark" that came out on the sega cd in 1992. One of the first games to use full-motion video. Had a blast with this when I was a kid.

That damn evil Commissioner Stenchler!

a photo of the case for the 1992 sega cd game "Sewer Shark". A man on the cover wears a pilot helmet with the name ghost worded across the top of it. he looks ahead with his mouth slightly smilingly open talking into a headset. His face is dirty with many dirt stains on it. photo of the back case for the 1992 sega cd game "Sewer Shark". A man on the cover wears a pilot helmet with the name ghost worded across the top of it. he looks ahead with his mouth slightly open talking into a headset. His face is dirty with many dirt stains on it. Above him in text it reads "relax pretend its a game!" Other small images from the game place on the bottom of the case and a decryption of the game on the side. A fighter pilot hub showing a long tunnel with a green cursor target in the middle and strange objects attached to the walls on the side of the tunnel.
