📌Hi I’m August! I paint all kinds of things, often either nuns or landscapes from life

check out more of my work at augustw.net

a digital painting of a flight attendant demonstrating the use of a life jacket, but she’s standing on the wing of the plane, in the air, defying gravity. the plane is tilting towards the earth, and below her all that is visible is a repeating grid of red-roofed city blocks extending to infinity. the city is loosely inspired by barcelona

a digital painting of a brightly lit medieval-looking hall with white walls and high ceilings, and row upon row of nuns clad in white sitting at long dinner tables. they are all sitting solemnly, save for one nun in black, who’s standing in the center, looking past the edge of the canvas with an intense look of defiance.

a digital painting of the edge of a forest at dusk, the trees are half in shadow and half still in gold light. a vulture is flying in front of the trees, casting a shadow

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Outdoor paintings from a recent visit to Seattle- with this batch I’ve also managed to make over 100 plein air paintings this year! I feel I’m finally starting to get a decent workflow down, and to understand the kinds of compositions I wanna look for when I’m outside painting! #pleinair #oilpaint

20 oil paintings of various scenes in and around Seattle.

Esteban Sanchez Illustration @esanchezill.bsky.social · Sep 9

Haven't done one of these in a minute! I am Esteban Sanchez, New Mexico based illustrator! Mostly do key art for indie games but have also done some covers (comics, albums). Anyway hope y'all dig my work!

A mech stands alone on some tide pool. A row of muscles sit on the rocks in the foreground. Billowing clouds in the background frame the mech.

Exit, the protagonist stands with a bat in one hand and a phone in the other. She is surrounded by corpses. The background is a silhouetted industrial site, orange golden hour clouds hanging above. The title "PIGFACE" fills the image.

John Cruelty sits in his car, foot resting on the dashboard. A cigarette in one hand and a pistol in the other. A G11 rests on the passengers side. He is wearing a pink leather jacket, pants, gloves and shoes with green sunglasses. The world outside is yellow.

A skeletal P.I revived for one last case, wearing a fedora and trench coat stands in the foreground. Flames surrounding him. In the background a sign reads "No Jobs in California. If you are looking for work, KEEP OUT". Burning pamphlets fall all around him reading "Mexicans Keep Moving" the title reads Calavera P.I. written by Marco Finnegan

congrats on 25K! It’s been fascinating reading your reflections on the art you’ve made through your career

I’m a digital artist and recent convert to plein air painting!

a flight attendant stands on the wing of a plane, mid flight. the plane is tipping unsettlingly towards the ground, revealing a sea of red rooftops far below

the lady of the lake cradles a sword as she floats in a lake, surrounded by lily pads. camelot is reflected in the water above her. the painting has a floral border with swans in the corners, and a crown and goblet nestled in ivy along the top and bottom

a photo of my plein air setup. the painting is done in gouache, and is of a shaded alder tree

a gouache painting of my HRT setup, including needles, testosterone bottles, and the red plastic sharps container. the scene is set up on blue fabric like a still life
