After binge watching Beastars on Netflix a few weeks ago I decided to paint one of the main characters, Legoshi, but in my style. I envisioned him wearing a dapper sort of “Peaky Blinders” attire. I’m still not finished but I had to share my progress so far.

A picture of a painting propped on a desk. The painting is partially finished with a human-like figure with a wolf for a head wearing a black/navy blue suit and coat. The wolf humanoid is centered on a milk brown colored background.

Day One: ✨Luna Moth✨—symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings.

I decided for this year I want to make it full of more art. So I decided I’m going to paint little random things on the walls throughout my house.

#artist #smallartist #whimsigoth #cottagecore #oldhomes
A dark green wall inside a house with a hand painted realistic Luna Moth painted on the wall. Shadowing is painted below the moth giving the illusion of it being three-dimensional. A dark green wall inside an older house with dark brown mahogany wood trimming at the right of the picture and a brown leather couch with a faux fur throw blanket draped over it. A hand painted realistic Luna Moth is painted on the green wall just behind the couch.

This piece has been a very slow process. With school and everyday life, I’ve been trying to get in some painting here and there. Tonight I was able to put down the first layers for the big kitty and finally I remembered to actually share some progress.

#art #painter #workinprogress
Sitting on a desk is a window shaped wood plaque with a painting started. The painting depicts a beige stoned window around the edge of the plaque. On the center of the plaque is a tiger (without stripes) standing up reaching its front legs up towards a pencil outline of a crescent moon. The background transitions from green at the bottom to a teal and blue at the top. This piece is still a work in progress so colors and blending of the tiger is not smooth and uniform yet.

What do you say to the white-eyed black cat?
Do those eyes see beyond the Veil?
Do they see the future?
What prophecies are written in those eyes, sweet white-eyed black cat?

✨My first ever dog portrait!✨

A little bit ago I had some family members commission me to paint my aunt’s dog that past away a couple years ago. Me and my side tracked mind forgot to take a good picture of it before she got it but I do have this one thankfully.
Hand holding a wood plaque painted with acrylics of a dog portrait. The dog is a Boxer Rottweiler mix with the brown and black brindle pattern. She is in the lying position with one paw curled under and her head up and looking forward.

#artshare Thursday!!

Picking my favorite pieces I’ve painted is definitely a challenge, but these four really pushed my art forward in overall growth and help me step out of that “comfort zone” I kept myself in.
