I don't see a button to mark as NSFW, sorry

The last one of this set. Hope everyone enjoyed. If I end up painting anything new anytime soon I'll be sure to post here.

I'm just not ready for her to be gone.

We have several of her books in our house and have read them to our granddaughter.

Several of her songs and covers of those songs have permanent space on my playlists.

I'm just happy I got to live at a time where I got to experience her art as she was making it and the impact she had on is as she was doing it.

I started making Crayola crayon drawings recently, and have around eighty from the past couple months I want to share next month. Here's a work-in-progress, whose paper got torn in anger, so I decided to show it like this. I got a Canon Lide 300 Scanner recently. I currently don't have have a camera, and want true-quality images as a archive/sharing medium. ChatGPT recommended colorruler.com for a sheet to calibrate the scanner colors, after I noticed that the oranges & green were off, so I'm planning to spend another $40 on that. Crayola drawings are helping me obtain nutriment for the intention & eye, and I'm quite dependent on doing this. It also is a potential channel of generosity for others. I'm requesting tolerance for making and sharing art; refrainment from any responses of violence.

Haven't drawn in a while but wanted to get my frustration out. Video games are a no-go, so this was the best option I had.

Critiques welcome!

Like the other 2 but more sharp angles rather than curves

Some kind of cursed tome idk

Sometime around 2019, marginalia

Acrylic on canvas

I know the last time I posted I said I was going to work more on the solid line style, but I spent 6 hours on the road visiting Maine for the first time and just wanted to chill with some painting. No plan, no technique, no skill, nothing even slightly resembling skill. Just painting and chilling.

So enjoy!

When I get new tools or feel like I've progressed far enough in my skills I like to do a self portrait. Since I know my face better than anyone else's it's a good baseline for me. My wife took the reference picture and I think it's extra good.

I plan on doing more with this technique, maybe a haunted house from another dimension.

Water soluble graphite

She's a badass. From Dune to Spiderman and much more.

Some experiments with npr and modeling a humaniod character.

Made in blender

Reference art for an occult horror game circa 2018. This room was set up as a device to summon Satan (or a version of them that also went by Ereshkigal, Charun, and Helel ben Shara). He took the appearance of George Washington, and always laughed in two different voices (kind of like Audrey II). A fun encounter to run, my players seemed to get a thrill from it.

I added some constraints to challenge myself. No undo and no erasing even though I could on this digital medium. I had to commit to every line as if I was really using a water ink pen. It was fun. Idk what this guy is, some kind of long sword wielding demon I guess. Name it.

Finally getting back into my sketchbook for some traditional art.

Very old one. Probably 2009? Drawn amid work notes.
