lol welp, Three Gorgonopsid Moon everyone! (mostly gorgonops torvus :) ) #sciart #coprolitepost #meme shirt available here jbh.threadless.com/designs/thre...
Been a minute since I've painted digitally! Krita isnt half bad :) Fun detour :) #permian #digitalart #krita

Three gorgonopsids howl (?) at the night sky and the moon, inspired by the famous Three Wolf Moon shirt. The gorgons are in rougly the same positions and colorways as the original shirt, with a white/arctic color morph on top. a amber colored morph in the middle and a melanistic one on the bottom. The background is a gassy nebula or clouds, take your pick lol.

Wwwwwwizard chickatrice! …ran out of filament just above this flock’s brow and decided to sculpt and print these glow in the dark mushroom wizard hats. #3Dprint #artdoll

THIS IS SO GOOD.

Great breakdown on Golden’s Interference pigments.

Pebeo makes interference paints too (“Dyna”), but pre-mixed with other colours. I use those when I paint diatoms.

Anyway, read this!

In short, your hobbies are important. Whatever it is you do, and my mother actually told me this way back when, it will filter in to things you do later bc you're following a passion. It bears true to me! Love what you love, yall.

furthermore, it was an introduction to worldbuilding and how to inject lore and story into a game. I loved collecting the army books I didnt play for the art, the short stories and the pictures of the minis. Today I'm batch painting a flock of those chickatrice, converting half of them. It's 1:1 man

It was a great way to learn how to paint, I think the first acrylic painting I remember doing as a kid was a warhammer Skink skirmisher very much aping the style of the army book with the blue scales and yellow crest and red trinkets- a pallet I still use today.

When I was little, my stepdad once questioned the amount of money I spent on Warhammer (which is funny now when you look at prices in the 00s and late 90s vs now) but honestly I use the skills I got from building, converting and painting armies on the daily and I still use my bitz box.

“Your work carries the essence of Autumn. If woodsmoke could draw.”

One of the best compliments that I’ve had on my work. I like to think that it’s true. 🍂

Two brown witch hares stare deeply at one another. As if caught in an act of surprise. The drawings are created using graphite, charcoal and ink. The backgrounds are misty and wild. The hares stare into your soul.

Graphite pencil and charcoal drawing of a fox skull slowly decaying into some autumn leaves.

Graphite pencil drawing of an oak gall. The textures are gritty and smokey. The oak gall is a deformed acorn that insects create.

Watercolour study of a roe deer antler. I found this antler mostly sun bleached and there’s a lot of knobbly rugged textures throughout.
