AURORA study (wip(?)) I did last year. It's her birthday today!!
#aurora #auroraaksnes #myart #artstudy #sketch #warriorsandweirdos #whathappenedtotheheart #illustration #fanart #art
An art study done in graphite pencil of Aurora Aksnes (Norwegian singer, known mononymously as AURORA). It shows a profile view of her face against a dark background, the shading and rendering of her face done in fine hatching. Her hair is only partially rendered, the way it's drawn implying movement as it seems like she has just turned her head. The rest of where her upper body is supposed to be is left nearly completely empty, only a light sketch of the layout of her dress done. The same drawing as the previous image, only now it is zoomed in on her face.

acrylic pointillism painting study of a landscape, depicting a road leading off into the distance, towards a few houses, a countryside view with grass meadows and some hills in the distance along with a few trees. A birch tree stands a little bit more to the forefront, casting a dark blue shadow over the road. On the left is a row of electricity poles lining the side of the road. The sky is a light blue with some clouds dappling it. the same painting as the previous image, except now slightly more zoomed in and cropped to only show the painting instead of the background.

closeup of a very large wip
#art #myart #wayang #originalart #illustration
Closeup of a detailed illustration depicting a female wayang puppet-like figure (wayang being a traditional form of puppetry and theatre from Indonesia) with flowers in her hair, a patterned headdress, and decorative little balls scattered in the lengths of the wavy hair. The lineart is done in white, whereas her skin is a dull golden colour. The corners of her mouth are curled up, similar to the hair around her face. It should be noted that this figure has more influences of art nouveau and fantasy rather than it being true to tradition.

Aphrodite, no specific epithet
(prints here: silverwhalesshop.etsy.com)
#art #myart #aphrodite #greekgods #helpol #originalart #illustration
Illustration of the Ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, standing in the centre with a decorative framing border of small illustrations around her, including her name written in Greek above, white feathers and pink st. Jacob's shells on the sides. She is portrayed in mostly warm colours with a red dress, pink skin and orange-yellow hair reaching all the way to the bottom of the illustration, while the background had mainly colder colours, with a white swan in a scenic pond behind her, and dark blue anemone flowers under that. Aphrodite has white pearls in her hair and glowing, light blue eyes. She is holding one arm up, back of her fingers against her face. The illustration of the previous image, now framed and laid down in sunlight to highlight the silver shine of the pale acrylic used for the pearls in Aphrodite's hair and other small details in the decorative border. A close-up of Aphrodite in the illustration's sketch-phase, graphite on brown paper. The same illustration but with only the linework, archival ink on brown paper.

hi! I'm Whalemood and this is my spanking new bluesky account since I'm moving away from bigger social media platforms. I'll be posting both traditional and digital art, and perhaps some comic work in the future as well. Let's get along :)
