Well now it feels so obvious.

Definitely better without the veil, at least in this picture. Great face!

That cluster of fingers on the right hand reads 100% as three fingers... Which having a hidden thumb puts you at 6 fingers

We REALLY need a new Darkstalkers game. The last actually new game (not a repack of older ones) came out 25 years ago. I love these characters.

Nothing quite like dusting off the oil paints, spending a day getting your hands dirty making something outside your norm just to soak in and enjoy the journey, with no regard to the destination.

Meanwhile I need to actively force myself to include yellow/warm tones otherwise everything exists in Elsa's castle. Give me frost and I'm content.

As a slow artist: I feel attacked. 💀

Nice! This is right up my alley.

"traditional art escape" as in you did a bundle of traditional drawings/paintings? If so...can we see?

Ya it's fairly brutal that it goes both ways. We're going to lose a generation to this.

It feels like the most destructive part of this whole AI thing is rotting the minds of school kids. Degrees earned after the launch of chatgpt just can't guarantee competency. They're mostly useless now.

Honestly I often wish art could be a trade like a local mechanic. If you need something painted or designed you bring it to a local artist. Would be nice to just be considered blue collar and make a fair wage doing this.

This character looks great in action... but now I am left curious what they would look like in a relaxed state. No ripped muscles or action pose. Sitting, sleeping, meditating... what would that look like?

Great colors and contrast. I appreciate the depth of this scene where it looks like I can see deep into the forest/city even with it mostly obscured. Full meal for the eyes.

Big numbers that 49. Quiet life here in obscure-ville.

This wiggle effect was something I had to emulate with bone based animations for a client years ago. Recreating the wiggle, adding specific 1 frame jitters etc. By the end it would have been easier to just draw it frame by frame. Makes me happy to see it here done this way.

Great time-lapse! A lot can be learned for those who just look carefully.

People I've known like this DO have something they are passionate about / skilled at that makes them special but "art" is a unique case. It was probably the first instance they experienced as a kid of a peer being significantly better than them at a thing. It's like an old wound they seek to heal.

Really solid look. I dig it.
