Sorry the photo colors aren't super vibrant, but I went with horizontal stripes of glittery teal and glittery silver.

This photo is just the first coat, mostly done, basically, but figured I'd share before the ambient cloudy sunlight gets too dim ya know..

I like it, starting to make some money off this hobby no less 👍

Trying a more detailed view of water droplets. How did I do?

I'm trying to paint water droplets, thoughts?

At the age of 34, I remembered my dream, so I decided to create my own comic—or manga, or manhwa; call it whatever you like.

Did a lot of color mixing experimenting.

This project has evolved from a prior submission. https://feddit.uk/post/41070161

I ended up with an LCD screen on my CPU pump for some reason, so I decided to play around with it, make it mine. Let me see if I can get a video up... Yep!

I did the video editing in kdenlive, I think it was a vertigo effect and one other, which I'm forgetting.

Made in autodesk sketchbook during a slow period at my job.

I wanted a new mobile wallpaper, so I whipped up something colorful and cute. It is inspired by seeing a bunny daily, and loving alien landscapes.

Also, I attempted to channel some lisa frank energy.

Another in my esoteric series, with the owl flexing her ability to be fully animated (well, not so animated herself, given her grumpy expression in a cemetery. lol).

Feedback is appreciated.

Alt-text: short animation taking place during night time, in a graveyard containing several rows of headstones surrounded by a short grass. A brown screech-owl is perched atop one of the headstones from the middle of the first row. The gray headstones all have the same carved inscription: “Vita mori oportet”. A red, large crescent Moon, with the concave part facing upward, looms above the owl. A few stars are visible behind, with the same red tint. A skeleton is stretching on the grass, few meters away from the headstones. The animation begins with the camera very close to the skeleton’s skull before it starts moving through the grass, past the skeleton, slowly approaching the owl. As the camera approaches, the owl briefly unfurls her wings while looking up, closing her eyes and opening her beak as if she were screeching/hooting. Then she furls back her wings, develops a grumpy face and begins staring at the camera. When the camera is closer to her, she tilts her head slightly (a behavior typical of real owls), then briefly lifts her right talons (scene’s left side) towards the camera while slightly stretching her claws and blinking both eyes in a tender manner, then she suddenly straightens her posture while doing the same piercing gazing again as her eyes glow green (slightly exaggerated tapetum lucidum to convey an uncanny supernaturality).

A simple little landscape (treescape?) made by hand from a brass plate, cut with a saw.

I changed up from my 90s style to some more to mirror's edge. I don't have it down yet.

This was done in blender and one texture in krita.

I really enjoyed painting textures onto this one. All textures custom made by me in Procreate. (Textures extracted from creative commons images).

One day she'll accept the trade-off, losing a piece of her humanity. She'll look back and see the wisdom in it. But not today. Today she just wants back what she's lost. (Oh this better, updated last sentence: Today she screams.)

As much as I like cybernetics and media with it, I don't want it. I have a few irrational fears, this is one. The other is finding a toilet in a dream and using it.

Every other entry in this series has been at peace with or loved the trade-off. But I wouldn't and when I saw the reference image I knew exactly what I was going to paint with it. Someone tortured with the choice.

I also love Fredrik Backman, Bear Town is one of my all time favorites. The way he gets me to feel emotions with his words is something else. So the blurb above is my attempt in his style.

Thoughts? Also is the rain convincing?

This is my 3D remake of a digital drawing I made in the past, depicting Lucifer/Samael and Lilith as complementary opposites. The drawing was made back in March, using Sketchbook. The 3D scene, which I made yesterday, finally implements a Blender model for Lilith's counterpart (Lilith was the first model/character I made as soon as I started tinkering with Blender and CharMorph three months ago).

While building a CharMorph model for Lucifer, I didn't look at my own drawing, I let my own "vibes" guide me through my choices for his appearance, yet I ended up with pretty much the same figure, so I guess this is as spiritually accurate as it can get for his anthropomorphic depiction... in fact, if you squint the eyes, he almost looks like a hybrid between Mark Pellegrino's Lucifer from Supernatural TV Series and Aziraphale from Good Omens (in time, while Lucifer is pretty much accurate in Supernatural, their Lilith is very far from who the actual Lilith is).

I sculpted his outfit from scratch after struggling to find a proper formal attire model under Creative Commons to dress him. His horns and wings are borrowed geometries from Lilith's, geometries of which were also sculpted by myself. I'm likely going to add and change things in this Lucifer model, such as a tie/bow-tie, a golden scepter (I understand Lucifer as a ringmaster of sorts), a golden Venetian mask, maybe aviator sunglasses, as well as his animal companion/zoomorphic manifestation, the New Caledonian crow (Corvus moneduloides) to match Lilith's companion/zoomorphic manifestation Western Screech-owl (Megascops kennicottii) (trivia: corvids and owls are known to have a complex relationship, mirroring that of Lucifer and Lilith).

This post originally has two pictures; as I'm posting from a Misskey platform, I'm not sure whether Lemmy and other threadiverse platforms will properly bring both of them. Both have lengthy, detailed alt-texts I wrote, you may want to check these for additional details on the symbologies I purposefully imbued.
