(WIP please don't repost)
I'm still not sure how art will progress the next few months, but I think it's safe to say expect more traditional art in the last half of the month for a while.
Can cuddle in bed and be comfy.

“Prabhu Lady” by महादेव विश्वनाथ धुरंधर / M. V. Dhurandhar (Indian) - Watercolor on paper / 1916 - Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum (India) #WomenInArt #BhauDajiLadMuseum #MVDhurandhar #महादेवविश्वनाथधुरंधर #Dhurandhar #PortraitofaWoman #Watercolour #IndianArt #art #artText #artwork #IndianArtist #watercolor
Painted in 1916, this tall vertical painting identifies an adult woman by her “Prabhu” community rather than by personal name, a choice that hints at how women were often recorded through social categories even when portrayed as individuals. Indian artist Mahadev Vishwanath Dhurandhar (also spelled Mahadeo Vishwanath Dhurandhar), celebrated for watercolor and for depicting everyday life in Mumbai (then Bombay), balances specificity (fabric borders, jewelry, and posture) with a quiet, human immediacy. She is standing outdoors, centered and facing forward with a steady, composed expression. She has medium-brown skin, dark eyes, and black hair parted in the middle and pulled back smoothly. A small red bindi marks her forehead. She wears a deep red sari with a narrow gold border, draped over a pale green short-sleeved blouse. Her jewelry includes earrings, layered necklaces, stacked bangles, and a prominent traditional nose ornament that brightens the center of her face. Her hands are gently clasped at her waist, fingers interlaced, shoulders relaxed. She stands barefoot on green grass dotted with small white blossoms. Behind her, tall stems and clusters of yellow-orange flowers rise through dense foliage, set against a light blue, clouded sky. The woman’s red sari is bold against the greens, making her presence feel calm, dignified, and firmly rooted in place. The garden-like setting, bursting with warm blooms, frames her as part of a living environment rather than an indoor display for an image of belonging as much as likeness. Created before his tenure as the first Indian director of the Sir J. J. School of Art, the portrait also points to Dhurandhar’s broader impact by shaping visual memory of a changing city through sympathetic, attentive observation.

Happy Birthday 🎂! Perfect theme for a starter pack hehe~

Here are some of my pretty boys 😁
Full color digital art illustration with a detailed background (actually a comic page) from my Out of Memory webcomic. It is a dark fantasy and horror comic (with a tiny slice of sci-fi) about a pacifistic warrior and his journey to find the truth about his family. The drawing depicts the morally ambiguous character "Yaoshe Baiqiao" (aka. "Yao") sitting leisurely in a traditional Chinese-style room. He is an influential politician and schemer who appears to be allied with the main protagonist. He is an elegant bishie (pretty boy) who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with long, curly medium purple hair that extends past his shoulders and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing an elaborate red and purple outfit that resembles traditional Chinese hanfu and is holding a pipe that is shaped like a serpent's head in his right hand. Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint. Character profile / illustration from my Out of Memory comic. It features several major characters, paired with their enemy and/or rival. The top row feature “Makoto Kurosawa” / Zhen Xinyi and “Yaoshe Baiqiao.” Makoto is a man who appears to be in his twenties. He has blue hair and light blue-purple eyes, and is wearing a black sleeveless top with a hood. He is smiling and appears to be beckoning the viewer. A crow is sitting on his left shoulder, giving the audience a side-eye. “Yao” is a pale man who appears to be the same age as Makoto. He has wavy purple hair and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing a dark red outfit that resembles a Chinese hanfu, and is wearing gold claws on his right hand. A large, purple serpent is shown behind him. The second row features "Gyoku Kurosawa" / Jade Scorpion and a villain whose name hasn’t been revealed. Gyoku is a dark-skinned man with wavy white hair and jade-green eyes with a ring around each pupil. He is wearing a black sleeveless top with gold trim and fancy shoulder-length gloves. Pinned to his cloak is a fancy, green and gold brooch that resembles a scorpion. He is looking to the side and appears downcast. The villain is a light-skinned man with black, pupil-less eyes and crimson hair tied in a ponytail. He's wearing a white blazer with gold trim and black faux fur. He is looking over his shoulder towards Gyoku (off-screen) and sports an ominous grin. The third row features Aisling Jespersen and Alba Ardiente, the main characters of the Heap Arc. Cover for the first volume of my Out of Memory comic. It features Kurosawa Makoto (黒澤 誠, "sincere black marsh") / Zhen Xinyi (真 心意, multiple meanings) and Baiqiao Yaoshe (白橋 妖蛇, “demonic snake of the white bridge”). The two characters are lying in a lotus pond, with Makoto lying on the surface and Yao being partially submerged. Makoto is wearing light fantasy armor with a subtle crow theme. He’s covering part of his face with his left hand, and a single tear is streaming down his face. Yao is wearing a regal black robe that resembles traditional Chinese attire. He is wearing snake-themed jewelry and light shoulder armor. He has an unreadable smile on his face, and his gaze is turned towards Makoto. Illustration of Imperial Prince Gyoku Kurosawa (玉 黒澤), aka. Jade Scorpion, a major character from my Out of Memory webcomic. He is a beautiful man who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with jade-green eyes and wavy white hair that flows past his shoulders. As a high-ranking prince from the Kurosawa Royal Family, his weapon and accessories are made out of real gold. The hilt of his sword is shaped like a scorpion, matching his sobriquet.

In 1967, Italian critic Germano Celant coined the term Arte Povera, uniting artists who used humble materials to challenge consumerism and traditional aesthetics, reshaping postwar European contemporary art discourse. #ArtHistory

Congratulations on the big 300! It's always great seeing people get the attention they deserve!

I haven't seen all of these pictures before, but the one in the bottom left corner is jaw droppingly good! It really looks like it's on the border of pixel art and traditional art (^^)b

Well since u like all my furry posts, my advice is not really to change your style, but to change what you draw with. I notice you do a lot of digital art. I would recommend trying traditional media like pencil and ink or watercolor. You’ll notice little oddities in your work that you can improve

The fact that we have sunk to this level with our neighbor and one of closest traditional allies thanks to the irresponsibility of of own proudly-ignorant voters is disgraceful: Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

"I never finished that" art share!

Share the works you never finished- traditional, digital, 2d, 3d... screengrabs, doodles WIPs, etc.

For me, it was these two projects my mad Max robot, and the Syd Mead limo.

I feel like since you can get so detailed in traditional art, you really need to separate everything, not to discredit the amount of work that goes into pixel art too!

A warrior with reality-warping powers, Xinyi is a pacifist who sees violence as a last resort. Yao, on the other hand, is a charming and manipulative prince who can be ruthless towards his enemies.

I used to do traditional art.
But ever since I went digital I became scared of it-

Will you share your result? I am so curious to see it 👀

A digital recreation of the Klingon skyline matte painting used in episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation. There are a number of suspended walkways in the foreground, and large pyramid-style buildings in the background. All are very pointy, as per Klingon design generally.
