This one was done very shortly before my last post, and is my first time figuring a balance stand point under a name with underhanging letters...
I drew a young man's portrait from a reference photo and was quite happy how it turned out.

This particular coathanger happens to have a nice shiny black coating on it, and I didn't want to scratch, damage or remove that coating.
So I bent this one 100% by hand, with no pliers or anything, just my hands, fingers and muscles. And yes, it was extremely challenging, I'm surprised I didn't get any blisters and only broke one thumbnail in the process.
Note that I managed to get this one to stand up and balance on its own without a stand. I did that by ever so slightly curving the final result, the center is about 5mm closer to the viewer than the ends.

Aria got a haircut and looks like the Grimpoteuthis ("dumbo octopus") now!
When the magick and the esoteric meets dark/grim humor... or is it (humor)?

Sharing another one of the 4 paintings I did awhile back. Expect the same color scheme throughout all but with different shapes.
Let's start a thing. Dig up an ancient sketchbook, and post something you've never shared.
I drew this straight from a reference about a decade ago, not sure when. It's definitely better looking than a lot of stuff I was doing back then.
Hello, I Just stumbled upon this community and wanted to share a few things. Painted this and a couple others with a similar style about 3 or 4 years ago and thought it may be worth sharing.
This reference was fairly neutrally lite which made it hard to paint. A better likeness than the last few. Practice is helping.

Of the speed paintings I'm happiest with this though without measuring its still not a good enough likeness. But until I get far enough in rendering I'm blind to the problem.

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

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.
