#illustration #painting #oc

a digital painting of an overcast outdoor scene with light rain. an airplane can be seen in the background, sitting on the wet tarmac. three figures walk away from the plane. in the middle, a blonde woman in a dark brown/plum three-piece suit with a red tie looks dejectedly slightly off camera. her left arm is in a sling across her hcest, and the entire left side of her face is covered in bandages, including over the bridge of her nose. the left lens of the glasses she wears is shattered. bruising and swelling is visible on the unbandaged side of her face. her right hand hangs limply, handcuffed to one of the two figures that flank her. the figures on either side, partially cropped off-screen, are men in black suits and sunglasses (despite the drizzle), and look like secret service agents.

#illustration #oc

a two-tone illustration in cream and navy, with some reddish artifacting. the drawing is reminiscent of propaganda posters or 'progress' murals. a short-haired woman in menswear, glasses, and nitrile gloves is drawn aspirating liquid from a vial with a syringe. behind her, she is framed by overlapping two-tone scenes representing technological achievement. to her right, a sunburst frames her head, overlapping with a burst of stylized DNA strands. the silhouettes of a man and a woman stand side by side, holding a flag. beneath them, a satellite dish and a torch. on her left side, a bright star shoots over a city of skyscrapers and a high-speed railway. a hand reaches towards the sky through the smoke of three jet planes taking off.

tragic and unexpected promotion. well they do say that thing about the ends and the means

#illustration #painting #oc

a painterly illustration broken up into two panels, stacked vertically.

in the first panel, a woman stands alone in a dingy, yellow-toned, dark room. through an open doorway behind her, a bright, cold-blue room with a tile floor and ceiling can be seen. this room is splattered in blood and chunks of gore, all over the floor and walls. a young woman cowers on the floor, her hands covered in blood and a thick metal collar with a red light clamped around her neck, which she is trying to pull off. two men in either military or security uniforms, one with a cattle prod and the other with some sort of firearm, fence her in. off to the side, a woman with her back turned to the camera is being wrapped in a shock blanket by a nondescript man. the blue light of that space spills over the threshold of the doorway, and casts a sharp rim light on the figure in the dark room.
the woman illuminated within the dark room is dressed in a creased dress shirt and crooked tie; her short hair looks disheveled. stark spots of blood stain her shirt and fleck her face, as if she was caught in the splash zone of whatever unfolded in the other room. the room she is in now looks like an office; there is a bookshelf in the back, containing a number of books, binders, a trophy, and a small family photograph of a man, a woman, and a young boy. on the wall above the bookshelf, there is an unreadable plaque, perhaps a diploma or award. the woman stands in front of a dark wooden desk, staring down at what looks like a brass namecard in front of her. one of her hands rests in the brace of a forearm crutch, and the other tugs a blue handkerchief from her shirt pocket.

in the second panel, the woman holds up the brass nameplate in her left hand, and uses her handkerchief to polish it with her right. the plaque bears the words "program director" in a serif font, and its golden surface reflects the woman's eyes, which show great focus. her face in the reflection is clean of blood.

what an overreaction. why are you always overreacting. i can't understand why she would react like that. have you talked to your doctor about valium?

#illustration #comic #oc

a monochrome 3 panel comic.
in the first panel, a woman with an arm crutch walks through a room, clutching a pile of papers to her chest. a man comes up behind her, smiling patronizingly, and outstretches a hand behind her; he asks "Need a hand?" two men stand off to the side, arms crossed, watching this smugly.
in the second panel, the woman drops her papers emphatically and swivels to face the man, who now smiles sheepishly as she curses him out--there are multiple text bubbles with the contents entirely censored by black bars. the onlookers are no longer smiling.
in the third panel, the man rubs his arm and frowns with a mixture of hurt and dislike. the other two men turn their heads to look off screen, from where a text bubble comes from the woman that reads "AND PICK THOSE UP."

a place at the table !

#illustration #painting #oc

a warm toned digital painting of a cramped conference room, with sunlight filtering in from the left. a serious, perhaps even angry-looking blonde woman sits at a large wooden table, fingers interlaced, with a short stack of documents in front of her. she is surrounded by men--on her right, a sneering brown haired man; on her left, a smirking blonde man with glasses, who is clicking his pen annoyingly and has his elbow in her personal space, not allowing her to fully rest hers on the table; beside him, partially off screen, a black-haired man with a mustache and an expression of distaste. standing behind the seated figures, two men lean over to see her papers, partially cropped off screen. one of them is also sneering. across the table, the tops of three more men's heads are visible. all of the men wear various styles of dress shirt and necktie, some with their sleeves rolled up, and their hairstyles seem mid-century. at least one of them has a visible ID badge. the woman's attire and hairstyle matches theirs, and she also wears an ID badge. it seems like her presence is being treated by the rest of them as some sort of joke.

it's a job

#illustration #painting #oc

A digital painting of an outdoor scene, lit by bright sunlight and the overwhelming blue cast of a sky with fluffy clouds. Along the bottom of the composition, a light blue mid-50s style car with chrome accents and a cream roof reflects the color of the sky. The car door lays open, and a figure rests her hand through the open window, as if she has just gotten out. The woman is dressed in a deep brown three-piece suit and a matching hat, and has one hand resting in her pocket. She looks off to the side, and the brim of her hat obscures her eyes entirely in shadow. In the sky, in faint serif font are the words: Still / My porch is symmetrical / My teeth are white / The lawn is green / My kids believe in God / And my pool is full of chlorine / Clean (lyrics from the Major Parkinson song It's a Job)

AMERICAN DECENCY IS UNDER ATTACK. UPHOLD THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE FAMILY UNIT.

#illustration #painting #oc

a satirical, heavily green-and-red color-stylized digital painting of two women, set in a well-maintained living room with a glimpse of the kitchen in the back. a slimmer blonde woman sits on a couch in a very spread out/dominant stance, smoking a cigarette indoors. she wears glasses and mid-century menswear and scowls at the viewer. behind the couch and leaning over her, a very muscular frankensteined-looking woman smiles and whispers something into her ear. she is wearing a mid-century styled dress with a matching pattern to the shirt of the woman on the couch. overlaid over the image in faint purple and teal serif font is the title "AMERICA MUST RETURN TO TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES" and the following tirade (taken from a tradwife tiktok): "women are fighting to be in the same positions as men, indoctrinated to focus more on their careers and less on the home. god created men and women more than just biologically different. our roles are meant to complement each other not to compete. our husbands are to be the bread winners as we are to be the bread makers. somewhere along the line feminine has been replaced with feminism. marriage is falling apart because the god who created it is being left out of it, and an overall disconnect in the home because the one created to nurture it has been empowered to neglect it"

.... WELL. BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE!

a sketch of the same woman from the painting, older, with a traditionally feminine hairstyle and a modest dress, sat beside the silhouette of a nondescript man with his hand on her shoulder. she is wearing a wedding ring.

hi ok back to posting here. look how hard i can disappoint my parents

#illustration #painting #oc

An angry, teary-eyed blonde woman sits in a too-small armchair in a lifeless-looking living room, framed by the silhouetted backs of her parents and an untouched cup of tea. The woman has close cropped hair and glasses, and is dressed in mid-century menswear. She grips the chair arms tightly. Her crutches lean against the back of the chair, and there is a limp looking Christmas tree in the corner. Her mother is crying into a handkerchief while the father comforts her with a hand on her back, but stares directly ahead at his daughter.

moree art backlog actually these are older idr the date but to me they are important for my profile

#illustration #painting #oc

a rough, backlit painting of a young woman looming over the viewer in a doorway. she is extremely tall and built, and blocks the escape route entirely. she is dressed in a light blue hospital gown and is missing her right arm, which is a mess of scar tissue that looks like it is trying to grow back; her skin bears stitching details in many places ala frankenstein and her hair seems to come from two different people. her face is darkened, highlighted by a bright green rim light, and her eyes are completely lost in shadow. she smiles menacingly at the viewer.

a rough painting, featuring the woman from the first piece attacking a thinner woman with short cropped blonde hair and glasses. the size difference between them is exaggerated by perspective. the assailant blocks out the majority of the canvas and stares back over her shoulder; there is a glowing spot under the skin of her neck, which seems to correspond with a remote in the hands of her victim. the woman with the remote is dressed in a dress shirt, trousers, and a striped tie, and is bleeding from her nose, mouth, and back of head, which is slammed into the wall behind her. her eyes squint shut and her free hand tries to push her attacker away.

#painting #illustration #oc

a digital painting of original characters. a slightly dim scene of 5 to 8 women (some partially cropped) in a stone-brick-lined public bath. all of them are dressed in linen shifts that are soaked through from the water and stick to their bodies. the illustration has a strong teal cast, but the figures bear a warm peach rim lighting coming from the left. in the center of the piece, a woman with long curly red hair and green eyes is being laid down into the water by three of the other women, all of whom have long, wavy black hair and red-stained teeth and lips. the way they hold her is gentle and slightly suggestive. the red-haired woman's expression looks guilty or conflicted, and she looks at something not in the scene.
