Back at the beginning
#Signalis
A digital painting of the Nurse Station in S-23’s hospital wing. A lone Eule sits in a chair in the center of the painting. She has a troubled expression on her face as her head hangs low. Her eyes are closed, but her line of sight leads to an open palm which rests on her lap. Behind her is a large window separated into three vertical sections by two muntins. The Eule inside the room is silhouetted by the left-most section. To the right of her, two corrupted Eules wander the hallway with knives in their hands. Each corrupted unit occupies a single window pane. Within the Nurse Station are three desks - one in front of the Eule with a computer keyboard, and two in the back by the window. A computer sits on one of the desks and two empty chairs sit in front. On the back wall near the left corner is a door. To the left of that are two medical cabinets. Above them hangs a propaganda poster featuring two Eules saluting with the nation’s flag behind them. Three smaller pieces of paper, similar to sticky notes, cover portions of the poster.

Rankin & Bass Rudolph that I needle felted for my dad's Christmas present this year! I ignored all of those “it’s not too early to start your holiday craft projects” posts that people make in August and started last Friday lol

I'm at the point in this painting where I now have to paint everything I've been avoiding 😔 anyway here's a wip
A crop of an unfinished painting. A Eule sits in a chair with her hands in her lap. Behind her a sickly yellow light streams in through the windows and hits the floor.

I don't know how much credit I can take for that since I used Blender to set up the basic shapes 😅 I was spending waaay too much time trying to decide which angle to place each cabinet at while also trying to draw them in perspective so I gave up lol. It saved me a bunch of time!

It's hard to look at her
#signalis
A digital painting of the ICU 02 room in S-23’s hospital wing. It’s a wide shot of the room showing medical cabinets and beds arranged in a chaotic setup with drawers left opened. Along the glass walls are several oxygen tanks colored red and blue. A damaged box of revolver ammo sits on one of the cabinets with most of its bullets missing. Smears of blood (maybe replika oxidant) stain the tops of three cabinets. Tucked away in the back of the room behind a glass wall is a gestalt in an oxygen tent. Elster stands nearby, posed as if she’s frozen in place, looking down at her. To the left of Elster are 5 computer monitors that are connected to the gestalt. 4 of the screens are on. The center of the room is mainly lit by a saturated yellow light while the back wall of the room is lit by a harsh cool white light that falls on the cabinets, computers, IV stand, the bed with the oxygen tent and Elster. The shadows are a muddy reddish brown.

Trying something new

#BreathoftheWild #TheLegendofZelda
A digital painting of Breath of the Wild Link, riding Epona, looking up at Dinraal as she flies in front of the sun, heading to the right. On the left side of the painting, Epona walks to the right along a grass-covered cliff with three crumbling stone Zonai pillars. The two on the left sit behind the cliff, lower down the mountain while the one on the right is in the foreground. There’s a thick layer of atmosphere that separates three layers of mountains from the foreground cliff. They are lit from behind by the sun which sits above them. It’s a high key painting so areas lit by the sun are compressed and brighter than they would normally be with some areas coming close to white. Shadows are in the middle value range and contain most of the detail in the painting.

Some sketches and two color roughs. I still like the way the clouds are in the first rough, but I wanted to try layering them in horizontal strips to mimic the stairs

Another Zelda painting from earlier this year. This is definitely the most self-indulgent painting I've ever made and I still really like it! Looking forward to making more moody paintings next year!
