A work in progress shot of a portrait I'm working on digitally in Procreate. So far I've gotten down parts of the platinum blonde hair, half up in pigtails, and lots of black. From eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick to a choker and gloves. Much left to do though.

I've never done a portrait before. I've attempted them, but gave up quickly. This is by far the furthest I've ever gotten. Still, something looks...off. Gotta start somewhere I guess tho. #art #artwork #digitalart #procreate #portrait #digitalportrait #selftaught

Procreate digital painting work in progress, in a portrait orientation, of a sunset landscape. The sky is a warm gradient starting with light blue's fading to oranges, with purple and blue clouds scattered throughout. In the far background theres a line of dark trees splitting the landscape, the sun setting and meeting at tops of them on the further left side. The middle ground is water showing the reflection of the sky but in more pink tones instead. The foreground has some scattered grass like areas with their reflections and then three larger trees, two of which are the pine variety all in a dark almost black silhouette fashion.

Almost done & just thinking/curious...does a market for commissioned almost photo realistic digital paintings of your fave landscape/scenic view/special spot exist? πŸ˜ƒ Cause like, I so got that. Wedding painters exist. Why can't your special scenic spot painters exist? #art #digitalart #landscapeart

A piece I'm working on in procreate of a landscape. The sun is bright and setting, the sky is a gradient of warm colors from blues to oranges, there's tons of trees far away in the distance, water in the middle ground showing the reflection of the sunset, and three larger trees at the very front.

A recently started landscape painted done digitally in Procreate. So far there is a basic sketch of where land, trees, and water will be, a gradient of blue, orange, and pink applied for the sky, and a faraway background mass of trees/land.

This is the reference picture I am going off for my piece which is of a landscape that shows a warm orange sunset over some water, dark clouds in the sky, a lot of trees far in the distance, a few very tall pine family type trees up close, and some marshland looking land in the foreground.

We are back to digital again.

My arm/hand holding up a small square watercolor sketchbook outside that has a recent painting I did in it showing. The painting is yellow around the β€œsun”/top middle of page, fading to pink then purple, with some marsh reeds poking up. The top of reeds near the β€œsun” have some pink and yellow tips to show the β€œglow” of the sunlight.

Circular-ish abstract/atmospheric landscape of pine trees in watercolor paint. Granulating colors used mainly in a mix of blue, green, yellow, and black. Lots of splatters. Some birds in the sky. And white sparkles around the bottom half to top it off.

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

I've also seen these and I too noticed the odd wordage about these so and so years long contracts. I wouldn't have noticed them if it wasn't weird/different. But bc it wasn't like all the others I've seen I was like, huh, that's...different. Now I'm also wondering, why tho? Why the sudden change? 🧐
