Then why didn't you tag him? Or repost his original post? @thomaswschaller.bsky.social

Study based on a photo by @davemylesphotos.bsky.social
Had to improvise on the face, scale was too small to do the original model justice.

I'll never forget James Gurney mentioning in his book that it was "discontinued not for lack of mummies but for fear of illness". Not for lack of mummies...

You have thousands of followers, do an ounce of research before contributing to AI-fueled misinformation. This is an AI interpretation, here's the real painting:

Beautifully composed shot! Mind if I use this for a drawing?

Familiarly fascist rhetoric, in the same family as "lebensraum"

Looks like Cillian Murphy 😅 Intentional?

Random kid sleeping on the train. I feel weird drawing random people from life, so I took a photo of this kid to draw at home, but maybe in the end that's just weirder... Gotta get more practice drawing regular people somehow though.

Lately I feel like I'm having to re-invent my process for every portrait, but maybe I'm just out of practice.

Ella Rubin in 'Until Dawn'. Ridiculous movie, but worth it for her

The sunlight casts soft beams that stretch across the room like quiet visitors. There’s a gentle warmth in the air, the kind that doesn’t ask anything of you. It just exists, golden and still.

Nice, yeah good practice material. You even managed to make your painting look more detailed, but I like it. Really intrigued by the sculpture though, do you know the name?

Beautiful shapes and lighting. Is this from ref of an actual sculpture, or just painted to look like a sculpture?

Willem Dafoe in 'The Hunter' (2011).
Criminally underrated Dafoe feature.
Eyes are probably a bit too big.

That too, but I don't even think it's that practically viable. I've seen some stuff about kinetic launch systems, that seems much more realistic to have one of those at every launch site.

Bug trouble? Be glad for the lack of flowers, will save the plant energy to recover. I had another that only ever flowered, no matter what I did and it started declining from spending all its energy on flowers only. What kind do you have?

My hybrid Hibiscus finally revealed its first flowers after two years, so I had to paint it.

At least mention title and artist, otherwise what's the point

Imperfect but real and genuine is always better than fake perfect. Makes for a more interesting painting subject too. Did you use a model for this or photo reference?

Thom Rozendaal @rozendaalarts.bsky.social · Jul 7

This your work? Beautiful. Afaik though that's always been the definition of milf, more or less

No that's called a prompter. If you tell an artist to create an image you're not the artist, the one who creates the image is. You'd just be the prompter
