I did a full day of art studies of #Fran from #FinalFantasy XII. This is still a work in progress but I'm finally getting close.

#DiscoElysium is done! The Club, the church and the last of the seven sisters! She is now going up into my attic and returning in december to become a recurring winter decoration.

#Inktober continues as I'm also doing this sweet #Discotoberbingo challenge. First up: Harry getting a vision.

First soft start on #Inktober this year. Sketch of Halfbreed Priscilla from Dark Souls, drawn on my train to work.
Ball point pen ink drawn in the corner of a sketchbook. The drawing is of a woman with little horns for eyebrows, long hair and fur on her shoulders.

Final stretch of the final details on the #DiscoElysium #Miniature I'm going over and replacing the plastic windows with paper ones to match the big painted window. It will make the church work better as a lamp. :D

I think I am done with the painting! Though I'm thinking of replacing the windows. Now that the big window is paper, I think the smaller windows should match.

I have finished the window! This #Miniature will not be an exact copy of #DiscoElysium the Dolorian church. The biggest difference is probably that instead of Dolores Dei I have painted a personal little guarding deity. I'll get another picture in the evening to show it with the light on.
A miniature of a church where the entire left side of the building is a big stained glass window. Closeup on the window. The painting is watercolour on paper and it shows a woman with two sets of wings holding sunflowers and a pinecone.

First pass of painting on my #DiscoElysium Church #Diorama. I've gone around doing all the walls, now it's time for the roof. Then I'm gonna add a lot more snow.
A big miniature of a church where the walls are painted in an off white with lines to exagerate the lines between planks. The roof is still in the black base colour. A zoomed in picture of the front door to the church with the porch over the water.

When my partner and I get takeaway we usually eat at home so we've collected quite a few single-use-wooden-chopsticks. Now some of them have come to wonderful use as the fence and supportpillars for my #Miniature of the #DiscoElysium church #Diorama
Picture of a miniature with a half finished fence and single use chopsticks in the foreground. A miniature church where the back stands on support poles over water.

I have glued down and shaped the environment that I will place my #DiscoElysium #Diorama #Miniature on. The base is a picture frame and then I've cut out cardboard and evened out the sections by "painting" down kitchen roll paper using my texture paste. And then added one layer of paint.
Environment made up of cardboard and tissue paper on a picture frame laying flat on a table. The environment painted black and white for snow and water.

Adding the base colour made this miniature quite striking. :D #DiscoElysium #Diorama #Miniatures
I think I have solved the issue with the window but my vacation is over so it's going to take a little longer to get there.

Genuinely looking for advice. I am working on the painted window for my #Miniature church from #DiscoElysium and I encountered a problem. I am #Painting with acrylics on plastic and it looks nice with the light in front, but when I put a light behind it all the color and nuance disappears.
A painting in acrylics on a triangular base. It features a woman with two sets of wings in a white dress holding a bunch of sunflowers. The light is moved to behind the triangular plastic base and all the nuance of the color disappears and all you can see is the thickness of the paint.

Okay! Here we go! Third time's the charm. I'm finally happy with the tower. Also, trimmings!

So I made the tower... And after a good discussion with my amazing partner realized that I needed to remake the tower. :P So I removed it and went over the rest of the roof again. It looks a lot better now. #DiscoElysium #Diorama #Miniatures
A miniature of a church made in cardboard. The tower looks pretty wobbly and too long. The same miniature of a church with no tower but more interesting detail on the roof.

I had to remake the base of the tower three times to get the scale right. I'm clearly still taking a bit of creative liberty with this but it's looking a lot more "correct" now. :D

I have added the back on my #DiscoElysium #Diorama I have laid a base for the roof but there's gonna be a lot of work to fit the tiles because I need the top section to be removable.

First floor of the #DiscoElysium church #Diorama is done. I'll make the walls out of foam and the roof out of cardboard. It's taking shape. :D

Cardboard mockup of the first floor! The rest I'll have to improvise as I go along. Now I have the size. :D

I have a two week vacation and I have a hobby project to match. I will make a diorama of the Dolorian church from #DiscoElysium
I am really excited!

I made a picture! This is Liam and Fowl from my pilot episodes for the comic Fowlsnight. You can read them here: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/fo...
It is a close up portrait of a girl with brown curly hair and red eyes who is running with a cat on her shoulder. The cat is grey, seems to be enjoying the breeze and has a very long tail.
