YA Fantasy book cover of two character portraits, vertically stacked in the composition. The top portrait is of a young woman with octopus tentacles sprouting from her back, holding an ornate sword above her head. The bottom portrait is of a young man in a white suit leisurely holding a sword by his side, wearing an ornate crown with wrought iron bars sprouting from said crown, bending downwards and forming a cage.

gosh well :( artwork for a cancelled book cover

yooo this is a cool style! awesome work, thanks for making this!!

I don't got the energy for tiedowns, cleanup, etc., but hopefully this shall suffice.

for now it's a hobby that I share with my spouse. at some point we could maybe sell STLs or completed art. there is a ton of trial and error though, it's crazy. stuff you can't prepare for, expensive mistakes. only way to learn is repeated failure.

aw man, that sucks. no idea what would cause that

I want to get an FDM printer eventually for larger stuff, I've had my eyes on a Bambu Labs one for a while

oh god, what's layer shift? I'm not that experienced yet

yeah, printers come in either SLA or FDM, never both

how the did a platform made by complete mediocre losers ever get blessed with a userbase like this. I'm constantly amazed by the sheer incompetence the leadership of bsky showcase on a daily basis.

I use a specialized flexible resin built specifically for articulated figures. it still didn't work.

spent the last couple of evenings trying to print an articulated figure out of resin that's intended for FDM (filament) printers. after my 4th try, I think I can confidently state that it was a bad idea and a waste of resin.

today's Textures

Morning in the Galapagos highlands.

In a vast chamber lined with square concrete panels, a woman grips an iron ring to hang suspended in a sideways T. A taut chain extends from the ring on a diagonal down to another metal loop where she anchors her bare feet. Gravity tugs on her fiery orange hair as she reaches down to touch a broad band of mist. The hood of her loose white top spills down as do both sleeves, one bunching at the shoulder to expose her arm—her torso prevents it from falling farther—while unobstructed the other sleeve billows loosely. There is some curvature to the wall behind her, which tapers inward at the top. Boards are tacked in staggered lines extending ladder-like up the wall. A grungy tactile delight, the place looks weathered with tattered cloth draping the concrete in places. A variety of openings are covered by rusty grates or metal plates.

THE REACH (1999)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 30”

Almost a Lumen painting, in which figures are trying to work their way out of enclosed spaces and get into the light.

I used a model for this one and it was quite difficult for her to take this pose and hold it long enough to capture the gesture. 1/3
