In other news from @artescampcreations.bsky.social , I can sit and not talk while painting so work continues on the All Small pieces. 1.5 days to go
Photo of 3 plain 7 inch wood panels side by side, primed and ready for art Three wood panels side by side, now framed by a paint palette and brush jar. Each piece has now been painted with an underpainting in deep yellow, with a rough sketch of strange creatures parading across the three panels. The sky behind them has been blocked in in a gradient from ultramarine to sky blue, left to right. The three panels continue to evolve. The right hand panel has had details in green and brown roughed in in the form of forest floor, fern-shapes, and trees framing the creatures, three of which have started to have colors blocked in The three wood panels continue to evolve, now with all the creatures of right hand panel blocked in - there's a bipedal purple creature with a huge drum, a strange yellow blob with 4 legs and two arms trumpeting at the front, and several more colorful small ones throughout. The middle panel has a large beaked biped holding a pennant. There is a giant lime green form appe appearing in the background, and manykrs beginning to take form. The left-most panel remains sketched out with just sky painted in, and the scene begins to coalesce onto a fantastical parade emerging from the dark woods.

Some turtles I helped cross roads, and a moose I got to watch for a while.

Important news, there's a lengthy and high resolution documentary about the Fabregé eggs on YouTube now so we can finally close the loop that started with this book:

In general I find this painting and composition fascinating now. Must have been popular.

Photograph of two sketchbooks. The sketchbook on the top is 7x10 in and features a drawing of a creature and mostly oranges with touches of teals, blues and reds. The creature has a long neck and bird head with a long beak thrown back as if yelling, it's front legs are like those of a deer and it's hind quarters are like those of a site hound. Below that is a smaller 2x4 travel sketchbook that has a similar creature but more fully bird like. Instead of four legs, it is bipedal with folded back long bony bird legs like those of an ostrich except folded like a frogs. Photograph of two sketchbooks. The top sketchbook has a colorful drawing of a raccoon like creature except pointier with an almost opossum like face and little teeth,and am arched back with poofed up back fur and tail as if it is trying to appear scary. It is a powder blue color with touches of green and purple. Below that is a similar sketch in pencil. Photograph of a sketchbook with a kind looking creature. It is round and bipedal with starry eyes in long ears tucked back. It is looking to the side and holding a strange flower. It is green and blue and turquoise.

Currently, my art is colorful, sometimes angry, and almost always full of unsettling creatures you might want to be friends with but also might not.
Image of open white sketchbook on a wood table. The page has three colorful creatures on it: At the top a four legged mammal with purple, blue, and peach fur, an owl-like face, and sprawling green antlers. Below him is a small round bird with pink and orange colors, a tufted tail, and a long beak. At the bottom is a large cat like creature, in turquoise and teal colors, with four yellow eyes and six legs. Image of a spiral bound sketchbook page. The whole page is taken up by a drawing of a stoat, standing on its hind legs and twisted to face the right hand side of the page, snarling. He is colored in vibrant pink, peaches, and cream colors, with deep blues and purples in shadows,. There is a scraggly sketch quality to the fur. He is surrounded by a yellow outline, and on a turquoise background. To the left reads "Stoat Fact: Tell me who hurt you - I will consume their eyes" in all caps. Image of a sketchbook page in a landscape layout. It is full of a variety of colorful creatures in a messy grid layout - they are surrounded by plants, color, and vines, and all are a little unsettling and otherworldly. One looks like a naked mole rat, another like a flame colored lizard twisted up into a square. There's a purple parrot-like creature with skin wrinkles, and a quadruped with a long neck, wearing a bone mask. It's chaotic and fantastical. Image of a hand holding a sketchbook page. The page is blank except for one centered drawing of a creature that at first glance resembles a rabbit. It has the long ears and general shape and a cottonball tail. But then you notice it's wide toothy grin, and much-too-large eyes staring at you. It has short but spiny antlers, and seems to be only selectively furred. His purple skin wrinkles like a sphinx cat's. It has a very ghibli-esque vibe and you aren't sure if he would eat you despite his herbivore teeth.

Photo of a gouache painting being held by a hand in front of a white siding backdrop. The painting is of a bumblebee like creature with a dog like head and a little tongue sticking out in a blep. The background of the painting is a starburst of various greens. Photo of a painting being held in front of a yellow wooden backdrop by a hand.

Coincidentally last night's drawing matches today's #whistpr daily prompt: Peacock
Photograph of a sketchbook page with a colorful creature drawn in color pencil. The page is dominated by the creatures, large peacock tail spread out and teals and rose colors. The creature itself looks like a blue jerboa with long hind legs ready to spring, but with a round face reminiscent of an owl with a small beak and pink eyes.

Colored pencil drawing of a large four-legged creature with a very, very long neck looming over mountains and forest. Colored pencil drawing in oranges and roses and browns of layers of canyon walls. And between them, two blue creatures are peeking out with their hands creeping out from gaps in the walls Colored pencil drawing of a large creature looming over trees. It is smooth, skinned and gray with speckles. Very large eyes and an almost featureless body except for its tiny little nose and ears Photo of the previous three drawings on a sketchbook page in a slanted beam of sunlight.

Photograph of white sketchbook page. There is a blackwing pencil resting at the top of the page. 5 various creatures populate the page in rough pencil sketch. The first at the top is a small tree dweller with a spiny back, 4 little claws, and two visible eyes. Below him is a pikmin like character with extra arms. To the left of him is a quadrupedal creature with a dragon-like head and a dog-like demeanor. Below him is a creature with a horse body and sharpened hooves, but with little fleshly ridges on his back, a short tapir-like trunk, and spiky antlers. Lastly, on the top left is something like a vulture with a seal head.

A photo of a sketchbook laying on a worktable. There are three framed creatures on the page. On the right surrounded by a grass green frame is a pudgy little creature in peach orange colors with green speckles. It has a face like an owl, four little legs and big antlers. It has a shocked expression. To its left are two frames, one on the top which is pink surrounding a scrably looking critter and purples and pinks with squirrel-like tail. Too big of a mouth and little paws. Below that is a last creature surrounded in purple and it looks as if a small dog's body with a squirrel's tail had a cow's head on it but three eyes. It looks friendly and like it needs pets.

Tonight's crayon creatures
#art
Photograph of half a page of sketchbook where three creatures are drawn. You can see the edges of other drawings at the top of the frame. The three creatures are frog shaped but also vaguely fantastical with pointed noses, extra rounded bodies and a blend of yellows reds and greens. All three have oversized oblong blue eyes with white centers. They are all thicc (with two C's). The one on the left is seen from a perspective from above. The center one is seen in profile. The third one on the right is mid-leap. Altogether they are a mix of color and weirdness. A crayon drawing of a crochet perched on a tree limb. The tree limb is drawn in pinks and yellows with blue shading. The creature itself seems a mix of fennec fox and plump sparrow, with an added long feather tail. It is colored in pinks and blues and yellows and oranges, with a very pointed snoot and huge pink eyes without pupils. A purple, and teal scribbled crayon creature on a sketchbook page. It has a vague manta-ray look, with extra appendages reminiscent of catfish whiskers, ending in curlecue tips. It has a long flattened tail and bright orange eyes.

I've been having lots of fun creating colorful unsettling guys from random pages in some morphology books. Here's some from the last couple nights
A colorful drawing of a beetle-like creature on a heavy toothed page of a sketchbook. It's god greens and purples and big staring eyes A colorful drawing done in gouache and posca pens of a porcupine-like creature in yellows and teals and pinks, with a long winding tale ending in a brilliant spray of feathers A chaotic painting of gouache and posca pens of several strange creatures. From left to right, a mauve critter with too many blue legs, a startled expression, and covered in leaves, with a long tail ending in a lilac spray. In the center is a round boy of bird-like appearance with a bright pink beak and a thick tail, in dark greens and yellow highlight. On the right is something like if a parakeet's head was at the front of a fish body covered in feathers, on two jaunty legs. It's parakeet green and pink and blues and it's eyes stare creepily. A dear like creature in purples and blues, standing on the tops of its hooves, with big yellow eyes that appear to be glowing

I just cheerfully said "Happy August" to myself as I wrote out today's schedule and then looked over to see Abby silently making this face
Image of mostly white cat with pink nose and some grey spots around its left ear. It has big yellow eyes and it is making a face that can only be described as "southern woman is eternally polite but must express her disgust with a smile that is only slightly detectable as a grimace"

Yeah I'm religious I believe in the holy Trinity
Photograph from critical role's retro photoshoot, in which, left to right, Ashley Johnson, marisha Ray, and Laura Bailey are casually hanging out in '70s style color blocked clothing. Ashley has nerd glasses on, Marisha is laughing while sitting cross-legged, and Laura is lying on her stomach. Can see her feet crossed behind her.
