Page from my Moleskine and yesterday with studies of Giulia Tofana, an Italian murderer operating in XVII century, who was behind the infamous Aqua Tofana, labeled "Manna di S. Nicola" in disguise.

I made this in a moment of inspiration, no construction lines (almost), no pencils, no reference. Everything is done on a common grid paper with a BIC pen.

The character is my witch, Hazel.

Every day, I stumble upon more and more posts that implicitly blame artists for being greedy.

Read my article about artists situation around the world, baked by real surveys, research and reports.

Better acquired (scanner) preliminary studies for upcoming fantasy painting/illustration. Influenced by many sources (see the hashtags).

Unfinished colored pencil preliminary study from reference of a warrior kneeling while raising a circular shield with his left arm and holding a dagger in his right hand. The focus of this piece is on anatomy, pose and shading. Light natural colors reminiscent of old illustration books. Pencil preliminary study from memory of a barbarian kneeling at the end of a stair while raising a circular shield with his left arm and holding a long sword in his right hand. The focus of this piece is on anatomy, pose and dramatic light and contrast.

I think I got her. Concept of Djustine, 90s character by Italian comic writer Enrico Teodorani. Her name tributes Django, the 1966 film directed by Sergio Corbucci, casting Franco Nero in the leading role. It is relevant for the union cavalry hat and duster.

Djustine is a character by Enrico Teodorani, published as fanzine in the 90s. Is a vintage erotic comic, mixed with horror, BDSM and gore.

This is a study for a remake of a short story.

Two quick takes on *The Witch* (from an old demo page), plus a portrait study that surprised me—she even echoes Isabela Merced.
Closing with explorations of Anna Tilton from *The Shadow over Innsmouth* (Lovecraft).

WIP Namakubi, my own style. A client asked for a demo clip, and in the first attempt, I couldn't resist painting it in my way.

Painted on A5 (about) Clairefontaine fine grain paper with Winsor & Newton cotman watercolours.

To use the ComfyUI-LBM custom nodes extension I had to completely reinstall ComfyUI.

Also, I must remember to trust more automations. Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 automatic levels did magic on the RAW.

Once computed the Normal Map this image will go in Blender...

Artist, show your most popular work!

A small watercolor painting (about an A6) titled "The Innsmouth Fisherman", made on the wave of my research about the New England, and the Massachusetts surroundings of the fictional town.

A frequent question I get when asking companies to sponsor ESLint is, "what will this get us?" That's one way to think of it. Another way is to think of it as backpay for all the years you've already been using ESLint without contributing.

We must be “social”, so I try my best not to abandon my blog. I try to stay motivated and keep posting blog entries regularly.

My last daily note took 4 hours to publish, delayed by a Gatsby issue.

This is a WIP tribute to Djustine, an erotic/BDSM character created by the Italian writer Enrico Teodorani bit.ly/47Qi6Oo in the '90s.

It started up as a practice/warmup and ended up be eligible to become a complete illustration.
