Found this dog in the cat section of the animal shelter. Not sure how the staff missed this.

Congrats on 6.2k!

Hello, I’m Piniper! For most of my time as an artist, I loved drawing characters with a line art/cell shaded style, but recently decided to try developing a more painterly style.

Lately I’m focusing on painting my travel photos with watercolor textures and bold colors!
Digital painting of a medieval cathedral in Ireland. A portal has appeared on the back wall, from which streams of energy flow and weave through the cathedral. Far creatures are hidden throughout. A mono-chromatic green takes girl wearing a cow bell and ribbons around her horns. A mono-chromatic green virgo girl, with wheat stalks framing her face. A digital painting of and Irish portal tomb with bold green colors and a stream of magical energy weaving its way through the tomb and back over the horizon.

If you see this, quote with your Night/Dark art 🌙 💀

Old digital painting of a skull i saw in the Paris catacombs. I heard that there are crazy (illegal) parties in the catacombs, so I figured I’d channel that chaotic energy with some naughty, mischievous imps.

Digital painting of a skull in the Paris Catacombs. The skull is surrounded by colorful imps with spray paint cans. Colorful grafiti is sprayed on the bones and skull, warning of more monsters and a satanic presence. Reference photo of a skull stacked with other bones in the Paris Catacombs. The skull had a green tint to it.

Throw back to the first time I tried digital painting in Procreate! Prior to this, I’d always drawn crisp line art and cell shaded characters.

This painting is based off a sketch I did in Oaxaca of the outside of my friend’s house, with their many cats, dog Curly, and 2 chickens.

Each thing I create has a little bit of “me” in it. ☺️

… But perhaps I left a little too much “me” in this chili cheese fougasse I made at my day job 🥲

(second picture is what they look like when I put less of myself into the bread. And is proof I do actually know what I’m doing lol)

Slowly chipping away at this painting based on a photo I took in Ireland in 2017 😌

It’s been a busy busy time at work, so progress has been slow. But hey, at least I’m showing up for my art anyway 💪

Congrats on 6.2k and thanks for the art share!!! ✨

My name’s Piniper, and I’m a digital artist! This year I’m focusing on turning my travel photos into fantastical digital paintings! I also like drawing crpeey and/or cute girls from time to time ☺️
Brightly colored digital painting of a ruined medieval cathedral in Ireland. The roof has fallen in, revealing a multi-color night sky. There are fairies hidden in the building as well as the lush foliage blanketing the grounds. There is a portal in the back center wall, from which trails of sparkling energy emerge, weaving their way through the building and off into the sky. A scarecrow/zombie girl cries tears of blood as her arm falls off and her head comes unstitched, floating away into the darkness around her. Her whole body is sewn together with different patches of colored fabric and sewing needles helping to hold various sections. Thankfully two ravens are helping to repair her with fabric and thread. The ravens are wearing glasses. A girl hearing a green striped top and a third eye in her forehead poses in 3/4 view with three cats, each with a third eye of their own. The girl has cat themed tattoos on her arms and cheetah print tattooed on her shaved head. A brightly colored painting of a monolithic portal tomb in Ireland. The tomb is made up of stacks of large rocks, forming a shape reminiscent of the pie symbol. The sky is distorted around a trail or sparkling energy, which descends from the sky and weaves its way through the portal tomb before returning over the horizon.

QRT with your sketch vs final ✨

Not really a “sketch” exactly, but this is what all my blocked in shapes look like with their textures before I add light and shadow.
Basic colors, texture, and layout for a painting of an Irish portal tomb with fire ground and background. Finished digital painting of an Irish portal tomb (megalithic structure). The colors are vibrant and the environment is lush. There is a trail of magical energy weaving through the painting

Blocking in shapes for my next painting inspired by my trip to Ireland in 2017 (yes the final piece will include sheepies). This photo comes from the tail end of our road trip around the Ring Of Kerry ☺️

“Travel is fatal to prejuidce, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain

Happy Birthday!!! 🎂

Sharing these two digital paintings or Ireland because I feel that they represent the moment that I began to find my style.

They are also the beginning of my 2025 art goal, which is to create at least one painting a month based on photos from my travels. 💚

Breaking the ice on here with #portfolioday as my first post 🧊 🔨

Hello! I’m Piniper, a self taught digital artist! This year I’m focusing on capturing my favorite #travel moments in a watercolor inspired style with bold colors and a fantastical flair. Here’s what I’ve done so far! Ireland first 🇮🇪
Digital painting of a monolithic structure in Ireland. The colors are mostly bold greens and blues. The structure is made of giant, square stones stacked with two side walls and a roof. One slab seems to have fallen down in the front. There is magic in the air as a trail of energy travels over the horizon, through the portal tomb, then back the way it came, weaving through trees along the way. Digital painting of medieval stone cathedral in Ireland. The colors are bright and bold, mostly featuring greens, yellows, and blues. The roof has long since fallen in, allowing a bright, galaxy colored sky to shine through. A portal has opened on the far wall, emitting bright light. From the portal emerges trails of floating energy, which weave their way through the windows of the building and out into the sky. There are fae folk hidden in the foliage and behind parts of the building.
