BG illustrator who loves to draw ancient civs and ruins.Timbs collector.YouTube poop enjoyer. I love games like For Honor and Soulcalibur 6 way too much. My disdain for Dad of Boi is well documented.
I’ve fumbled on the perspective, I wanted it to look like a crowded metropolis. Actually, it’s meant to be a reconstruction of Xunantunich (in what is now Belize). But there wasn’t much to work with, since it’s not as neatly preserved as Palenque and the likes.

A study of The Mayan fortress of Tulum. In what is now Cancun, Mexico. As always, I like illustrating what these places may have looked like before they were abandoned.

Congolese Moambe Chicken 🇨🇩🇨🇫. Cooking this wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. (Would you believe it’s also made out of peanut butter?)

1/2: I do not get the appeal of moving to a site like Tumblr or Twitter for artists when they want to relocate their portfolio. Scrolling near endlessly to find one particular artwork of theirs sucks, scrolling’s the LAST thing I want to do.

My favorite funfact from the first Shrek movie is that Smash mouth’s “All Star” wasn’t actually meant to be used in the movie’s intro (but a placeholder until they composed an original song). But, the test audiences loved the All Star version so much, they took it as a good sign to just keep it

Nezahualcóyotl, the Poet King. Two men admire the statue of the philosopher ruler. I’m convinced that most of my camera shots do not do justice to colors I’ve used in my paintings. It drives me insane and feel the need to amplify the brightness.

To this day, I’ve never met anyone that can tell the difference between parody and satire. I think the best and most reliable way to explain is; “A parody is fueled by brotherly love for a media, a satire is fueled by contempt for someone or something using critique.”

Obligatory licensed video games made to promote popular media. Now that I think about it, I noticed that these type of games don’t really exist all that much anymore.

A backyard study, green and comfy. Not really sure what else to say about it, other than one of our peers invited us to her home to paint around the backyard. #watercolorpainting #backgroundart

Another Machu Picchu study, one of the tougher things to do in these studies is reconstruct what these ruins would’ve looked like back then, placing these details in certain areas, all the while following the irl photograph in which the scenery is based on.

Omg! I finally finished another real oil painting. It's 9x12".
I spent wayyy to much time mixing the colors.🎨 The people who do oil painting YouTube videos can mix colors in seconds. I wish I could be like them.
Hope you like it 💗💗💗
