Artists of All Kinds! Show your Work!

Thank you @IzabethS I really appreciate it

 

I’m a self taught artist who’s been drawing since I could hold a pencil. Other than a short stint as a tattooist I’ve not made a living from it, too many bad experiences with people expecting miracles from dreadful photos or constantly changing their minds giving little thought to the hours you’d already spent when doing pet portraits really soured things for me.
Haven’t done much these last few years other than my dolls faceups, lost my mojo. Some of these are really old!

I thought I'd post in this thread for the first time. Here are two of my characters, both of whom I'd eventually like to do 3D sculpts of (currently working on one!). Something spooky for fall!

 

My newest photo manipulation of the Pointless Pub.

I've been an artist my entire life and used to teach art. Currently working on an oracle card deck.
I prefer pagan, fantasy and nature based themes and my favorite medium is watercolor. All of my artwork is hand drawn / painted.

I also sell my art (and vintage items) on Etsy.

Here's 2 examples of my paintings:

 

Thank you @IzabethS Love your work especially that butterfly.

 

Omg the beading! That must’ve taken so long! So pretty

 

My latest, big alien ant trying to catch a fish.

@SteamWitch - Love this!

 

@Blodeuwedd - Your work is gorgeous!

@Seaweed - That's a delightful picture!

 

Quote from IzabethS @earth.spirits your work is beautiful! Watercolor is also my favorite medium when I do traditional art. I haven't done much this year personally art wise other than digital. I love doing both, sometimes even combined!

Thank you, @IzabethS, for you lovely comment! Your work is very beautiful too!

 

My latest art projects.

This is so cool!!

 

Whoa!! This is so surreal. Very unique!

 

I mainly do digital painting and illustration! I've been trying out pixel art recently, as well. (This is my first time trying to upload images here, hope it goes through alright.)


A commission I did for a friend.

 

Ooh, I love your style. It reminds me of manhwa

 

Thanks a lot! I have been fond of some manhwa over the years, so I guess it peeks through. I really like how they draw eyes and hair.

 

I have been doing a lot of watercolors lately, mostly D&D characters for games I'm in! Sadly some are just for one shots.
I post tons of art on my Substack though which I used as a replacement for FB which I don't like. Breaking Whinge | Che Gilson | Substack
I'm TRYING to give more gouache and acrylics a try but they are a steeper learning curve for me than watercolor which I've been doing for years

 

Thank you all.

 

My newest with Nox as the star.

My background is in digital art of a variety of different subjects, but here’s a colored experimental sketch I’m particularly proud of!




I tried a way of coloring skin that I don’t usually do, and I definitely want to explore it more.

 

Here's Sally and Jack. I'm actually shelling these two characters this summer!

[Edit:] For the life of me, I can't remember how to post images from Flickr correctly. Here's a link until I can get it to work correctly. ^^;

[Edit 2:] Okay, finally fixed it. It's copy the BB Code, then paste it into the post box without using the Image button. What a headache. ^^;

Loving everyone's artwork - So many creative and talented folks on this thread!

Here's another of my watercolor paintings:

​

 

Everyone's artwork is so lovely! I love seeing so many creative people on one forum!

 

I do a lot of digital art on the side. I'm not as frequent in doing them as I used to be, lost a lot of passion during college so I stopped uploading them for a long while. It's only recently I started being more active on my Instagram account. The upper pic is a Legend of Zelda OC I designed based off the new game, and the lower pic is the character I'm shelling out with my Volks MDD. Currently working on sewing the outfit for her.

 

It's always nice to pop in every half a year or so and see what's new.
Today I did a small painting of my cat. I've had a really tough year of it, and especially had this kind of emotional and mental block with watercolor, so I'm proud of myself for trying again and getting through it this time

It's been a while, but I fell into those "DIY tiny dollhouse" building trend. But I realised that they make great diorama backdrops for 1/12 dolls and Nendoroid dolls. So I started to kit-bash them to fit the dolls in. This one is my latest!

Not sure how well the pictures will show up, but the links should still work!

 

Here's a sketch I did a week or two ago of Miss Pauling from TF2!

 

My newest headsculpt, Sadie.

Dropping in to show this one I just varnished, which was laying around since May (much like me) and because of it I have jokingly called it my Goya summer

Sorry to double post but this is my new Halloween ghost.
Ghost by SteamWitch, on Flickr

 

last notable piece of Hand-drawn Art i ever really did... back around 2002.

i had this terrible habit with too much body detail in some odd places then... such as the Neck/Throat, for starters;

 

My latest non-2D works. I know of went crazy with the gnomes. Slysnak is my personal gnome the others will be presents for my friends.

Oh no the thread is dying again this is my favorite Brigadoon topic so I will give a gentle offering again (from my sketchbook)

Photo manipulation of one of my photos of Ash.

Ugh, so many cool artists on DoA!! I mainly have a bunch of half-finished pixel art sitting on my hard drive... But here's something (from years ago) which I actually finished:


I'll see if I can dig up some more semi-presentable stuff later...

EDIT: Here we go, a little collage:

 

Ah reviving is my pleasure @IzabethS it's such a cozy little thread I feel like I never saw the bearded character illustration of yours yet he's awesome!

I love seeing everything! Those are cool textures in the manipulation @SteamWitch ! @babezoid I love your pixel art! Looks like you can do different styles too, that's really awesome!

I've been working a lot lately so I'm going to plop this small skyscape in here too why not.

@AlisonVonderland Thanks! Sometimes I think my "style" is that I don't have one Also: digging the loose brushstrokes on that painting! Very dynamic

I've been bored out of my mind, waiting for my Unoa to get here... so I started doing little MS Paint sketches of other people's dolls. Made a little collage of them (a "dollage" if you will...)


Featuring:
@cobaltconduct's Vickie
@aihre's Gael
@Ho.taru's Már
@Saphariel's "General" Harding
@nyaaain's Sochi
@juni-fee's Lila
@Nikki'sNewObsession's Gia Benoît
@Morgan Rei's Baste
@BlackSheep's Keagan and Jonah
@PoeticSoul's Eevee

(Hope y'all don't mind me drawing your dolls, if you do just message me and I'll remove it!)

 

Oh my god!!!! Baste looks so cute!!!! This is amazing!!!

 

This is so cute thank you for drawing Vickie! I hope your doll comes soon, too

 

Oh my gosh thank you for drawing Lila! These are all so cute!

 

Ahh, thank you so much for giving all of us this lovely surprise! your drawings are all delightful

 

@babezoid Oh wow! Not one, but two surprises! Thank you so much!

My dolls look so cute in your style, and I like all the other pictures, too. What a wonderful thing to come home to, thank you! I'm definitely saving these to look at later.

 

How cute

 

Aw thanks for the compliment @babezoid what you say about not having a style, I used to feel that way about myself too. And I do like to do several different things, maybe that's what throws me off (feeling like I didn't have one) but friends seem to think otherwise so I chose to believe them

Anyway, back with a new painting. This is a nice large one 33" tall. Inevitably looks a bit more garbage in condensed photo form but eh, try to believe

Was generally thrilled to get back to a size I like and hopefully will paint some more soon.

There is so much terrific art that I had to bump this thread and share some of my digital work.

The Sea Nymph, various licensed images

Creusa and Aeneas, various licensed images


Untitled. A guy I sketched in a bullet journal, scanned and edited in Procreate.

 

Those are cool @tenukihandcrafts ! I especially like the first one.

I come to feed the thread with this last little mixed media study


Link

 

Thanks, @AlisonVonderland. I like your mixed media study. It’s so expressive.

 

untitled photo composite. The graffiti is on lower Queen Anne in Seattle with Wolf. The photo was run through PhotographyBB FromDusk Till Dawn Photoshop action.

 

Thank you @tenukihandcrafts ! The vibrant colors in your photo composite are awesome!

 

I draw dark fantasy art, this is a jorōgumo concept from last year I might be able to shell!

Spoiler for spooky/bugs just in case

Spoiler

Also a portrait of a D&D character/OC from a sky pirate story I'd like to shell, but I don't see it happening without mods. She's technically her own thing but closest I can think of is a hobgoblin.

 

I am sort of mediocre at all the creative things I do, I really admire artistic talent other people have. One thing I think I’m good at though is photography. I can do photo manipulation as well but don’t have any good examples available because they have people in them who I don’t post online.

I haven’t added any photos since 2020
