just a funny moment, i paused my writing (not sure if done today, maybe) at 55,555 XD
cropped screenshot from Ellipsus writing app showing 55,555 words, a stopped timer, the focus and notifications icons, and part of a conversation saying "as bad as we think."

#watercolor #wip i'm hoping to have done in time for the next art event. Thinking i might keep making rooms like this, they take a long time but they're enjoyable.

I'm planning to make clay planet ornaments too. The novel is at over 54k atm, quite a bit of words still to go.
on black paper and unfinished, watercolors show parts of a cozy library with a fireplace, lantern on a floor stand, a candle on a shelf, a clock on the mantel, a pet bed, a pet blanket on the floor, a rug, a torn piece of paper on the floor, a cat toy, a rug, a chair with a pillow, blanket, headphones, a side table with a blue and silver steaming mug, a book, there's a window on a blurry wintery scene, the floor is wooden, there's cabinets on either side of the fireplace and an empty picture frame on its chute.

the feeling whenever i try to use hand drawing tips
From the Simpsons, first picture shows a barbecue pit and says "that's one fine lookin'" because apparently someone forgot to add 'Barbecue Pitt' the second is of a jumble of construction and grill materials and says "why doesn't mine look like that?" originally in dismay but the image on its own could suggest more apathetic acceptance tbh

my quick little #antiAI #drawing made with #chalkpastels and under them some ink and watercolour on black mixed media paper.
A.I. in pinkish letters full of skeleton bits stands in front of a smoggy background on top of a cracked drought effected ground. the colors are kinda gross, intentionally.

Luka (Venmo @luka-skeen) is a trans person in CA who is in the process of moving out of an unsafe living situation but they need some financial support to get through the high initial costs. They were out of work, now have a job but not yet being paid, they're out of money and feeling low
Luka and their partner smiling at the camera. on the left is someone with long curly hair, purple-y makeup, a nose ring and a black top with green pattern, on the right is someone with short hair, a slight beard, black Henley and black coat or over-shirt.

just doodling while at the art crawl
small graphite sketches on white paper, from left to right roughly: a witches hat, an open book, three pumpkins, some very light and basic trees in a wood, and a detailed eye

It's fun getting caught in storms ^.^
a crow in a tree on the left 2/3s, silhouetted against a cloudy sky, a couple thin power-lines in the bottom right to bottom left green leaves, some yellowed to the left side, a thin tree trunk, these plants go from thin in the bottom right across to the left and up to the top middle, in front of silvery water that looks like a river but near the top is a line of sidewalk and more obvious puddle revealing it's pavement cars to the left with a wavy bit of cloudy sky silhouetted by trees, street lights reflect on water. near center is a crosswalk pole with a sign saying 38 and a light saying not to walk, on the right is a silhouette of someone hurrying into a shop

winterroseart.com/shop/ Still uploading items! I just finished this #surreal #watercolor piece and added it to our stock of #art available
on black mixed media paper painted with regular and neon watercolour is a surreal scene. in the center is a camera lit in pinkish right on the right, fading to purple then blue towards its left side. the center of the black lens has a white circle mottled like a moon. it sits on a pedestal also showing the gradient from right to left with the front panel having cascading lines flowing down. to the lower right is a collection of plants like a bush. A few broken glass pieces tumble down from the window above where some panes have swirls and others are broken. All still in the pinkish gradient. on the left side is a leafy plant growing our of a swirled vase, also of course pink to purple. behind is a grayish crowd of human silhouettes. behind them is a large black circle that they may be entering or exiting.

I think my favourite eraser of 20 years is reaching the end of its life. Hard to believe it was a D.A.R.E program school eraser for how effective and lasting it's been. Still works but it's oddly both dry and oddly sticky as well as weirdly pliable. like it'll hold a slight bend if i push it.
a circle of black smudged neon green eraser full of cracks held by a pale hand with long plain nails, sketchbook in background same eraser but the fingers have bent it slightly to show how the cracks break open to the bright neon green inside.

Some #photography from a wildfire sunset this week, first is more true to life, second with a filter, third was just some fun surreal inspiration lol using this photo from pexels www.pexels.com/photo/black-...
light gray sky, fiery sun oval above hazy tree tops, rooftop in the foreground with metal components and rain stains like the first but darkened and heavily grained causing circles to emanate from the sun like the first but darker gray clouds and overall dustier landscape and the sun is now part of the orange and yellow spot on a giant yelling blackbird behind the trees

New #painting, Nott the Jötnir of night, holding her daughter Jörd the Jötnir of earth, riding the horse Hrimfaxi who leaves the morning dew, pulling Mani the moon, and followed by Hati the wolf. From #Heathen #mythology. I always find Nott to be good visual art inspiration ^.^
Hati, a black wolf happily chasing the moon through the sky. Hrimfaxi the black horse runs determinedly, spraying foam from her mouth that will turn to dew, on her back is Nott and the baby Jörd, behind she pulls the chariot of the moon. Nott is a dark skinned woman with full curly hair, a smile, purple shirt, blue leggings, and fur edged boots. Jörd has green curls, a happy expression, holding her mother's arm as she looks back, blue shirt, gray boots, dark gray pants. a galaxy style background, the sea crashing below, the moon is in the middle in a golden chariot with chains holding it in place. In front is Hrimfaxi a black horse running with Nott and Jörd as riders. Behind is the black wolf Hati, mouth open to show tongue and tooth, happily chasing. All is painted in metallic watercolour. There's a see-through initial placed over top of some of the image in an attempt to protect it from AI use.

at a point with the long covid that i'm just pushing myself to do things to try to reset back to normal (was recommended by a dr a different time) and it seems to be working :fingers crossed:
made a little progress on this painting, masking fluid woulda helped ^^;
metallic watercolors of blue, purple, aqua, and pink are dabbed together onto a black canvas with some vague silhouettes. the colors are meant to invoke the idea of a galaxy. the silhouettes are meant to have more features in them but were overwhelmed and distorted when the background was applied then partially removed in those areas.

#photography photo from some time outside today, the cats were getting antsy
a picture of a wooded area that looks like it has two paths and a sign, the path to the right has a golden sunlight and the path to the left is a bit cooler toned. oddly irl the area looks very different but that's the fun of photography

this was a fun white #charcoaldrawing I drew earlier
white charcoal on black canvas turned sideways to be a diamond shape. In the drawing is a reindeer turned toward the viewer. Their antlers hold distaff tops and the strands go from one to another in a pattern based on the cat's cradle string game. there's a large dark moon behind the deer, three stars to the right for the constellation of Freya/Frigg's Distaff (aKa part of Orion), their body curving away on the left. there's a smattering of white speckles like stars and snow. the border is decorated all around with white reindeer moss. this drawing is set on a wire bin for the photo.
