RIP Graham Greene. I've never seen Dances With Wolves, I guess it won 6 Oscars. What didn't win six Oscars was Clearcut, but god damn is that a fascinating movie with an eerie performance from him. He goes from hilarious to scary just like that, and oh boy that de-barking scene. GO WATCH IT NOW!!!

Congrats on the 3k! Posting a few pieces that I hope are creepy but a little pretty too.

Hi. Do these fit in here? Not sure, but they're here now. And congrats on 3K.

Okay I'll bite, but I'm going to post wildly different styles I've done for client work. Gotta get paid!!!

Show me your style...or your most different style lol.

Congrats, and cool art! Time to dive into the comments and find new people to follow, but first here's some of my 30-minute speedpaints from a while back:

If you see this, repost a robot.

Thanks for hosting! Seriously like half my follow list is from artshares at this point.

Here are four pieces from a long ongoing personal project, along with an image I made showing my progress so far. Started in the pandemic, seven down, six left to go!

Quote with your fanart.

Okay so this was FOR a fan of JJK (Felmax), but then I was like hey that's cool and became a fan so...fanart? #jjk #fanart #dubstep

Lots of great art in here! Here's some of mine!

The big head one??? It's something I started a long time ago and have revisited twice. The idea is that there are these meddling beings with the power to shape reality at will without being comprehended. It's been a while since I did the last one, but it would be fun to revisit at some point...

#portfolioday Hello I'm Ven! How about some variety from my first concept art job (Borderlands 2 expansions) to NOW (Excision) and a couple of personal illustrations in between! Not currently looking for work, but always open to making connections...and if a MTG AD sees this, well...hello there...

Awesome and thanks for doing the share!!! 💀💀💀

🎉Meant to get back to this art share that I was generously tagged in! I'm feeling like posting dinos, and I'll tag a few cool artists if they want to keep the share going 🎨

Blue sky’s open, quote one art to promote yourself

I saw Ryan's piece and thought it appropriate that I should use a piece of mine that's between the covers of Infected By Art Vol 12, whose cover is indeed Ryan's piece!

Thanks for the 500 followers, you weirdos...does this mean I have to do an art share??? Comment with your process shots, process vids, or sketch vs final. That stuff always interests me the most. The uglier the sketch the better. Repost if you like. Label any NSFW plz. #artshare #bskart #artist

Green art chain?

I do sketch traditionally sometimes, but I'm still working through a sketchbook that was halfway finished when I graduated from art school in 2012...😬

Hey y'all!!! Remember to practice some self-love on Valentine's Day! 😅 Personal work from 2021, started as a dream (don't ask), and ended as a tribute to Giger. Should I do more spicy stuff like this?

Time for wings #art !!! I made this one for one of the 2020 Character Design Challenges, and it won! Not bad for scrambling to meet the deadline while I had covid. Maybe the fever helped?

Cycle VII: The Laborer simultaneously climbs and descends the stairway, carrying The Broken Amphora of the Fourth Moon. While never reaching their destination, the proof of their labors is all that is required.

Personal work from 2022, #illustration #digitalpainting #darkart
