Lilly Piri 🔜 MIGW - GCAP - PAX @lillypiri.com · Oct 10

Hi everyone. I’m an artist/illustrator working primarily in oil and acrylic paint, and I’m also a software engineer interested in game dev and front end.
@nathanhoad.bsky.social told me to sign up so here I am 😸🎨 this is my latest painting, The Emerald City.

Oil painting featuring a futsu pumpkin, green bottle, mirrored bauble, moomin toy holding an Apple, a coloured sand bottle, and marbles, all on top of a wooden Fry’s Cocoa box and behind these items is an open yellow book (The Wizard of Oz) with green page edges. There is a green crocheted blanket with red, white and black trim as the back drop. In front of the Cocoa box is a green striped pumpkin. The painting is on a desk with a full palette and the painting set up behind it.

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

Three pelicans diving after sunset, with a sailboat and a tanker in the distance, 2 terns also fly, the pelicans are shown in their dive motion
