I never really mention it but photo studies are what I do to relax so. Have this film still. I use grids :)
Painted black and white film still from the drama "There's Still Tomorrow" (C’è ancora domani, 2023). Two women are laughing and smoking cigarettes together.

If you see this, post something monochromatic 🖤

Once again digging this one out, reminded me I still haven't finished the banner version of it.
Digital painting of a figure with long, flowing hair and pointed ears, dressed in a translucent robe, shining against the dark background. They extend a hand towards a bird, one of whose wings partly obscures the man's face to the viewer. Their head is crowned by a nimbus. The sketch depicts my interpretation of Manwë atop mount Taniquetil.

I just checked and I haven't been added to any in the past few days except for this monstrosity which seems to have been taken down already. I assume something got reposted and I'll just never know what it was 🙃

If you see this, QRP a character with long hair 🖤

I still like this piece, it was me finally figuring out how to render hair using procreate.

[ #art #fanart #vampirehunterd #procreate ]
Digital illustration of a pale young man with long, dark locks wearing a fishnet shirt under a ripped black top. His head is crowned by a spiked halo. Black and white tattoos of roses with barbed wire stalks reach across his chest. On his left shoulder there is a tattoo of the letter D and he is wearing a prominent black cross necklace on a silky choker with a blue stone embedded in it. Red roses frame the painting.

Work in progress painting of a hallway. The silhouette of a man is standing in a corner, the only visible details are his brightly reflecting eyes, two white dots in the dark. In one hand he is holding a rosary. His gaze seems to be fixed on a cross of sunlight on the floor in front of him.

QRP with something watery! 💧✦
Digital painting of a merman with bright, pearlescent eyes approaching the viewer. His head is tilted curiously, long black hair floating around him in the water. Only his pale face is lit by a strong light breaking through the darkness that surrounds him. In the background, his tail cuts through the water, scales glittering.

Ultrawide work in progress painting depicting a man with long flowing hair and pointed elf ears, dressed in a translucent blue robe in front of an arched railing. Compared to the dark background his figure is bright, as if shining. The man extends a hands towards a massive bird, one of whose wings partly obscures the man's face to the viewer. His head is crowned by a nimbus. In the background, two trees can be seen as silhouettes among dark clouds. The sketch depicts my interpretation of Manwë in his palace atop mount Taniquetil.

Thank you for the opportunity, your portrait art is stunning! 🖤
Here is my child. 🤲🏻
Digital portrait of my original character Lithio. He has long black hair, brown/tan skin and golden horns arching around his head, as well as thin, pointed elf ears. A scar cuts through his lips, reaching up to the nostril where it is partly obscured by a gold piercing.

Digital painting depicting a young man (my oc Laurent) with long dark hair and striking bright blue eyes, looking up from a book towards the viewer. He is sitting in a chair beside a bookshelf, lit from below by a warm light hinting at a fireplace in the room. In the background, there is a window with dark red curtains and a hanukkiah on the windowsill. Three candles and the shamash are lit, the flames are dancing slightly as if hit by a gust of air. The sky outside is dark and it snows heavily. Painting of a man with golden horns and long black hair lying on his side on a bed with dark reddish/brown sheets and a silky pillow, with his back to the viewer. A single streak of light falls onto the bed and his back. In the background there's a doorway with organic looking lattice decorations looking out to a courtyard with a palm tree and bright buildings with archways. The picture depicts my original character Lithio and I painted it to express a comforting, dream-like feeling.

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2025?
Sleeping Endymion, 1756, by Nicolas Guy Brenet (French, 1728–1792), oil on canvas, depicts of a young man dramatically falling backwards, not unlike how I collapse onto the couch every night.

Black and white tattoos of roses with barbed wire stalks reach across his chest. On his left shoulder there is a tattoo of the letter D and he is wearing a prominent black cross necklace on a silky choker with a blue stone embedded in it. Red roses frame the painting. Digital side portrait of a blonde man looking up at a figure outside of the picture, whose hands are reaching into the canvas pouring blood from a chalice into the man's open mouth. His exposed neck is visibly scarred, as if burned. The background is dark and reminiscent of wooden panelling with a church window like opening down the middle. Golden light is flooding in from behind, putting the foreground in a semi silhouette. The writing "habe fiduciam in Domino ex toto corde tuo et ne innitaris prudentiae tuae" is partly visible in the background. The painting depicts my original character Vincent in a dream he had and explores themes of devotion, guilt, and surrender.
