Yeah I wrote a book lol. Well. I wrote 3, but the first one is almost done.
I tried painting some scenes before but it just took too long.
Most of the oil paints style I do is stuff for my book. I’m going with this style as it’s a bit faster lol. Plus I’m a huge weeb 🥳

Ah thank you!
I’m currently using this design to draw out my books prologue as a comic intro.

I have no idea what I’m doing lol.

I’ll try remember to also post here

I post more on Twitter as I unfortunately forget about bluesky :/

End of book Ren.
I’m so close to being finished 🥲

: D
Going to miss you correcting stupid people on Twitter tho.

Thank you!
I don’t use this as much but I’m trying lol

Okay this is the coolest thing I’ve seen all week

Thanks pedro!

Frieza for the Dragonball 40th

I have a real bad habit of doing softer rendering on women than men.
I guess my “style” is a more consistent one like the Morrigan or Chun li. The impasto stuff is relatively new, kind of experimental. But I just can’t bring myself to reduce pretty faces lol

Poisoned repost

“The cruelty of love is that two people can share the same moment, and only one remembers it.”

Thanks! Book description said she looked like the night sky and moved like liquid smoke so I wanted to capture that. Inkyness gives her volume that smoke wouldn’t

Poisoned repost.
Choice is a character I didn't know I was capable of writing.

“Perspective, Ren, is the gift you're granted when the world has taken everything else."

I know this was massive spoilers for my book but who cares. We all want this. There's so much gore, abuse and yap that something romantic had to happen eventually.

Poisoned and glazed.
Seen as I'm reposting everything. I want to talk about this piece. It was the first image I posted this year that included prose.
Its probably the most important thing I've ever painted. It let me explore my style and build confidence with my writing.

It’s not abandoned I think it’s still in dev is all. It’s invite only

Deleted all my art from socials so I can glaze and nightshade it

The studio dog is … 😇

Considering Japanese IP are pretty chill about fanart and doujin I could likely sell at cost. Was gonna print this on a giant mousemat for myself 8)

Working on this

Yep! Everything I do is for me now.
I love doing stuff for my book even though most people won’t get it

This was a really fun way to spend an evening.
Wanted to do cell but turns out I can’t draw him so trunks instead 🤣

Y’all worrying too much about doing art that’s impressive, or for your portfolio. Do something for the joy.

The renaissance inspiration comes from the presentation. Baroque tends to be more dramatic, mine isn’t, I use a soft vignette and rim light which is not chiaroscuro. There is a lot of cross over as obviously baroque artists like the Dutch masters were inspired by renaissance paintings.

Badup bah bah baaaaaaaaah

Not streaming today because I have a headache. I think I have an ear infection 👂🌾🙉

Anyways I’ll aim to get into regular 2 day a week streams once I’m past my next work milestone on the 22nd.

I’ll still do beginner zbrush for rapid prototyping… then Im gonna finish this guy for 3D printing

Once I have them all as mats I’ll take good photos side by side so people can choose the one they think looks best :D

I’ve never sold mats before. Or even prints.
They’re gonna be made to order so I won’t make any money off them but I’m stoked people like my art enough to own it

These finally came out nice.

I don’t usually go back to old art but taking a bit of time to improve them feels really worth it.

I made the originals when I was learning procreate and made a lot of mistakes.
Other than some tonal adjustments I can now author stuff completely in procreate.
