Been using the @trueref.bsky.social to do one hour's worth of one minute poses to start my day! Did with friends over discord this morning and had a lot of fun!

Should have just drawn plain silver, this was a STRUGGLE 😂 About 45 minutes of painting!
Digital painting of a fork and spoon, both of them treated with a rainbow iridescent coating.

Loved it!!! Sweet story, great characters, and awesome art! Since I was a "wolf girl" in my childhood, it was fun learning more about horses!!! @nilahmagruder.com and @calistabrill.bsky.social created a wonderful book!

While I treasure my time as "Shrub 6" in the 2018 production of "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals", I have no plans to reprise the role.

Some magics cannot be recaptured.

@trueref.bsky.social has so many great pose packs (used one for the sketchbook studies pictured below), and I've also been collecting reference packs through @howardlyonart.bsky.social 's Patreon! (used for this painting)

Screencapture by @animatedjen.bsky.social vs my 90ish minute painting study!
Shoulders up view of Cal Kestis, a white man with short red hair and beard, wearing a dirty black sweater. He's looking down and to the side--a shaft of light falls over one eye and highlights his copper hair. Pale green leaves, a few dry and dead, frame the portrait. Shallow depth of focus makes the leaves very blurry while Cal is clear. A digital painting of the same photo, the details a bit more painterly, with visible brushstrokes.

90 minutes painting study of a Gladiator scene!
Painting with loose brushstrokes of Commodus from Gladiator. He looks up into the sunlight shining off his white armor, a few blurry rose petals falling past him. Most of the scene is white and gray--only the skin of his face and the falling red petals have color

Speed color studies, a half hour each!
Digital painting of a shiny red apple set in front of a can of tinned chicken. Digital painting of three peppers, yellow, orange, and green, in a white porcelain bowl in front of a window.

Two hour study of a reference image from @howardlyonart.bsky.social 's Patreon!
Waist up portrait of a Black woman wearing simple armor over a dark blue dress. Her chin-length black curls are pulled back from her face by a thin headband, with half her hair tied back behind her head. Her expression is solemn--she looks to the side, towards a strong light source that floods half her face with light. The background is a dark gray gradient.

My favorite moment from tech-week on Cinderella's Castle. Assistant Stage Manager Juliet tapes a spike mark so Bryce and our sniper-perfect spotlight operator Salem can bring the glass slipper to life at the ball!

Working on this show was a wonderful dream, and I hope you enjoy the pro-shot!
Theater stage lit up in purple and gold. Bryce Charles playing Cinderella in a glowing green dress holds out the foot with her glass slipper into the light of a very small, focused spotlight. Assistant Stage Manager Juliet kneels before her, all in black, black headset, long dark hair, black N95 mask, measures a small amount of spike tape to place on the stage. Behind them Narrator Jeff Blim stands in his own spotlight, looking upstage Closer view of Assistant Stage Manager Juliet Park laying spike tape on the stage in front of Bryce's glass slipper. Bryce's sequined dress glows green with LED light, and picks up reflected blue from other lights on stage.

Two photo studies! About 35 minutes each. Been doing weekly studies for a month now, and my speed is improving!
Painting with very textured brush strokes depicting a wrinkled brown leaf on a hot sidewalk. Despite being dead and dark the leaf is still very shiny, and the rippled surface defects the blue of the sky. Rough textured painting of a large, three pronged ivy leaf. It's mostly vivid green, but the edges are so pale yellow they are nearly white. The background is rendered in softer, blurrier brushstrokes indicating a rough tree trunk and a few other ivy leaves.

I've lost every fitbit charger I've ever had, so I got a solar powered pedometer marketed towards senior citizens with a screen the size of my whole entire wrist, also I walked 15 miles today.
Photo of a round digital watchface nearly as wide as the wrist it's on. The top number reads 1092.6 Kcal, the bottom reads 15.01 miles
