Broken lighthouse
I've always liked to admire the ruthlessness of the sea at night.

I'm trying to work on stylized drawings of people. I've not been happy with any past attempts. Let's see if I can get happy with this set of attempts. Any feedback?

My last in the series. Though I may revisit them. I made the most alterations from the original, as you can see below. What do you think?

If I would have looked at a reference it might be a little better but for now I go for memory. I used to own 18 cats so I saw them enough to know what they look like. This is an unfinished base mesh.
This is my drawing, but I got the idea from a comic. I don't know the name of the artist or comic... I just loved how he did the texture and shading and wanted to practice that style.
Poem: Liars
Eye on cross
I 2 be tossed
He who b me
Must be free
The reference was midday, I changed the time of day to dusk so it looked more like a great photograph and less like a postcard. And at least a few more hot air balloons left in me.

Nope, I'm not over hot air balloons yet. To be fair this is only the second one, but I feel like it'll be at least multiple more.

I placed sand on the paper above the colors and some below and rolled a board over the sand downward to roll and scrape through the wet paint.
I saw a reference of a hot air balloon that looked like it was taken with a dirty lens. I thought I'd lean into it and try to make it look like it was an old photo taken with an old camera. What do you think?

Posted art is titled "Broken Glasses"
This is "The Sins of Man"
This is "Server, Client, Holy Internet"
I am thinking of switching to abstract sculpture on Nomad. There is less pressure to get proportions right. This was the second test sculpt. Took me about a half an hour. I created all the parts separately and then combined them together using the Boolean tool. Then I added rough muscles. I could have easily followed a reference showing where the muscles are. Let's call this a surreal cat since it isn't as realistic as I wanted it to be. The thing is I know the anatomy enough to know this is a really rough model. On to attempt number three.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
