Huzzah! Adventure awaits!

Knight of Swords from a collaborative medieval tarot deck that may never see the light of day... but at least I made fun art for it!

The original painting is available at www.albaillustration.com/original-art...

In progress: "Untitled Christmas gift for my girlfriend and mother-in-law", oil on canvas, 24x36". Still poking away at this. Layering in cut flowers & bric-a-brac. Some insects & animals are planned, too. Not sure if it'll be finished for Christmas.
A rustic floral still life painting in progress. It's a dark room, run down, perhaps a potting shed. On a bench is a Crown brand glass jar with a cut flower arrangement, orange rose, pink fancy tulip, a white rose, other flowers suggested in broad strokes. To the right of the flowers are 3 cut pink roses and a lit candle. Some foxglove, a fern frond, daisies, a pear & work gloves are filling in on the bench. The back wall has peeling burgundy damask wallpaper over crumbling plaster. The light of a window is cast on the back wall.

RP with how *you* draw women!

I draw animals, mostly. There’s a reason for that. 🤭
The last one is women *and* men b/c: animals. I draw animals.
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a brown skinned, dark haired human type mermaid, with a purple scaled tail, looking left, with her back to the viewer, sitting on a dark rock in a stylized blue sea, with a wreath of poppies around her shoulders and back, and poppies fixed by her ear, and loose in her hair, which is flowing in the wind behind her. Her tail has round scales in shades of purple, with small fins at her hips, and flukes curled around to the right behind her. The sea is dark blue in front, lighter blue in the back, and the sky is pale yellow, like the sky at dawn. She looks thoughtful or sad. A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a woman from the shoulders up, blindfolded, with a skeleton in a black robe behind her. The skeleton’s fingers are wrapped around the purple blindfold. Death is not meant to be threatening, more like they are leading the woman towards a surprise. Her face is not scared. Her chestnut hair is draped softly around her shoulders, and Death’s fingers are gently twined in her hair. I don’t fear death, but I don’t wish for it, though I did once, and this is the subject of this piece. The background is golden yellow and orange. A partially colored ink, marker, and digital colour (on the black vulture) of me, in 3/4 profile, on the left side of the image, facing right (this portrait makes me taller than I am; I’m 5’3”). I am wearing a yellow and black 14thC cote (long dress, fitted through the arms and waist, laces up the front, with a white under-shift, very flattering on every body type!), my right arm down at my side, my left arm and hand cradling a fluffy black vulture chick.* I have red curly hair and very non-14thC bangs. An adult black vulture with their wings half-open is standing beside and behind me on the right. A large shield shape behind my upper body shows my SCA heraldry in pencil and ink, which is an eagle displayed, with wings raised, inverted, facing left, black background with a plain border, and three estoiles (six-pointed curly stars) on the eagle’s wings and chest. The black is shaded with pencil, and the white parts are yellow. The adult black vulture has their wings in the same position. *Black vultures are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Act, and it is illegal to interfere with their nests, or handle the chicks/adults. Don’t pick up a baby black vulture; they WILL vomit on you, and the smell is unearthly awful. An acrylic painting on paper of a 15th century tournament, with a tournament viewing stand behind, and people gathered around the fence enclosing the tournament. The knight fighting on the left is the recipient, and his pose is almost exactly like the one in the photo I worked from, arm scarf flying, and all. The knight he is fighting has an incredibly intricate helmet that required seven photographs and two days of crying to figure out. I am standing at the fence on the far left, in my heraldic cote, a friend is behind me, and I am arm in arm with my husband, Bob (the one with white hair and beard, that I made look a bit like Kenny Rodgers, sorry!). One of our neighbors is standing next to Bob, then other friends are on the other side. In the viewing stand is the recipient’s wife, stroking one of their cats, left of center. Other friends, alive and dead, are around them, mostly women, except for the then-king, and the original head of their household. The lettering is Google Translate Latin, and in the center bottom, the recipient’s heraldry, done with full crest, and the symbol of the award, a white belt. I am really proud of this one. Even the lettering is shaded in darker blue underneath, to make it pop. People were sad they were not included! Success! His wife loved it so much, she made fine art poster prints for everyone included in the picture. :)

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”
