Currently stuck in a jamaïcain resort, can't go home due to an air transporter union strike. 6 more days in obscene luxury. We are now resorting to colurful drinks with at least 6 ingredients to wait for the next barely informative email. However our survival skills are now razor sharp. We eat as a pack , m'y wife Gets the toasts and fruits while i ordre the omelets. Get the tonic at thé bar, not thé buffet. I dont need a Wilson ball, to keep me company m'y teenagers are juste as good at silently listening.

My first time painting on a canvas in over a decade, and my first time using painters tape to get crisper lines. I think it came out decently lol

Acrylic paint on canvas. Sea green background with two green cut gem patterns.

This nerd shit is harder than I remembered, the stickers took ages

When I saw the reference photo of Charli XCX I thought to myself, now THAT'S a vampire! Plus I hadn't done one with teeth or blood yet. And now I have.

This are inspired by the style of "XO RAD MAGICAL" on YouTube.

As a conditionally creative person, I'm curious — how do creative people actually rest? 😁

Music, simple doodling, staring at the ceiling, or maybe watching videos?

I just want to understand: why is it that even after resting, I sometimes still feel totally drained - is that normal?

Texture used by custom hatching brush made by me.

Here I only used the procreate guache brush that came with the program,and the smudge feature.

this is a variation on the "what I see when I close my eyes" pieces I've made (a few posted about 4 months ago), I altered the actual color to purple

Hi everyone! I'm new here and planning to settle in… I live in a terrifyingly cold country 😱 … but deep down I'm kinda an artist and storyteller.

I listen to music, I'm thinking of posting my drawings, and just seeing what's what around here 😁

Oh, and if I don't reply right away — sorry in advance, I don't speak English at all 😇 (using a translator, so bear with me!)

Brush Pen, Following the example of Picasso's work

Pen nibs are hard. Also I'm absolutely in love with the art in Claymore. I recently ordered the whole manga and was delighted to discover an art book within.

Any advice for using pen nibs welcome!

It wasn't her wings or teeth that gave it away. But the reflection she did not have.

When I started this piece I was planning to paint a reflection. Silly me. Looks unsettling without it which I think fits the scene.

I'm trying for a modern Gothic look. When I look for vampire reference material the outfits are almost all from the Victorian era. This is my attempt to modernize the style a bit. What do you think? What would a modern vampire wear?

Medium is oil paint on 30x40cm canvas.

I used a lot of overlay brushes to get the 'glow' look. Not my best work. Made in early July.

Seems when I add texture my art looks better. Here I forgot to add texture.

I hope this is okay here. I didn't see a specific minipainting community with more than 1 member.

Started painting this after resin printing a heroforge mini I made and bought. Just paid for the model file and here we are.

Anyway, spent maybe 5-7 days painting it. I think it looks better in person than from my phone camera (seems to highlight every imperfection, but it actually looks decent compared to what I've seen my friends paint). I'm still new to painting minis, but I think I found a life long hobby i enjoy. Hope you like it <3
