🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

And last but VERY definitely not least, a soft portrait of Arcanth for the amazing @paperiapina.bsky.social. Did I got a little overboard making an independent 3D maquette of this in advance? Possibly. Do I regret it? Not a damn chance.

You always are very good at sky-scapes in all your comics too. Love these. This is a great idea on how to practice, I should try it

My right hand, Pegasus - Full sheet in thread. It is a tiny bit dated (2018) so if it's unreadable due to compression that is fiiiiiiine by me

#Tetra #Pegasus #OC #illustration

1st part of Pegasus's reference sheet. Some lore, accompanied by full-body shots of his own and human forms, and a big portrait on the top left.

2nd part of Pegasus's reference sheet. The top left illustration is of his skeleton. Next to it is a close-up of his eye, showing that it barely has any color in it, and the pupil is crocodile-like. Next to that is a front-facing portrait. In the bottom left are 6 expression examples. In the bottom right are three illustrations of his skull: side view, 3/4 view, and top-down view.

3rd part of Pegasus's reference sheet, containing his human form. 6 expression examples on the top left, and a front and back full-body views on the right. Two big portraits in the middle. A back-view with wings on in the bottom right corner. In the bottom left corner is a whalebone stick with a chess knight figure on its top. Below it is the same stick, disassembled. On the very bottom is a mace.

Last part of Pegasus's reference sheet, containing 6 full-body motion/behavioral examples.

Getting about 5 "final warning before your pictures and videos will be deleted in 1 day" scam emails every day for the past month. I wish whoever leaked my email to these buttholes a Very Merry Step on a Lego.

expanding on this (sorry loam LOL) but imo making your characters be straight up wrong about something important will make you a better writer because you have to figure out WHY they feel that way and what makes them tick. you have to get inside their brain and roll around. it's so important.

loam aspected @wardeneater.bsky.social · Aug 31

if you cannot let your oc look stupid, be silly or be wrong you haven’t unlocked the true torments for that mfer. i know you like angst but there are more Tribulations at your finger tips. it’s also good not to be too precious with them in general let that mfer step on a rake

It's taken me way too many years into chasing an art career to finally developing an eye for understanding the 180 rule, mostly thanks to @coelasquid.bsky.social's explanation of it.
Now to digest the rest of these!

Steve Lieber @stevelieberart.bsky.social · Aug 25

Been a year. Time to repost this.

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT
THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON
1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow
2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer
3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that?
4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up
5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place.
6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online.
7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you.
8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency.
9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark.
10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick.
11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level.
12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

I thought I'd show how I did the wolf's eye. I wanted it to have similar depth like a real eye at all angles, but stick to my celshaded art style. It's a combination of simple textures and flipped normals + backface culling in the right places. #stylized3dtips
