Mina Bolduc Art

ISO an artist who can do a pet portrait commission memorial painting, preferably an artist who can take my reference photo and put their spin on it

You know, being in school where all of my time is taken studying for exams and stuff for my degree has taught me that I do actually want to be a full time artist AND a full time person working in the environmental science field

Before this I was VERY wishy washy with art

Slowly learning new methods of coloring and rendering digital paintings. This was grayscale and I messed around with saturations, color balances, curves, etc

Alistair, Dragon Age: Origins

Finally working on the canvas of my giant commission - I’ve never worked on a painting this large, it’s exhilarating

Ordered a Paperlike screen for my iPad and I fear it may bring the draft for my Lilith from Diablo 4 painting with it 🙂‍↕️🙇🏻‍♀️

I’d love to participate in at least some Inktober/promptober but I’m literally spending all of my time outside of work studying for uni

Please send your Solas for DreadTober drawings my way 🥺

Just took my first quiz of my university degree

Was so nervous beforehand - biology is no joke

Me: *not even out of Dragon Age: Origins yet*
Me: let’s draw Solas like 10 times 🥰

Anyone else’s exploding head syndrome manifest itself into the sound your smoke detector makes when the battery is low

(My batteries aren’t low, my brain just sucks!)

Finally getting started on my Halloween Eye Spy painting! I stream painting, including this, every Tuesday and Thursday at Twitch.tv/bumbler_boi

And if you’re interested in speedruns of The Simpsons: Hit and Run, I stream on Saturday mornings! 🖤

Initial sketches of my new D&D character and her plant, Acolyte (named after the song by Slaughter Beach, Dog)

Planning future paintings and trying to get back into art after losing my sweet cat Nyl. I’m hopeful for my future plans because it’s a lot different than my normal paintings, but working through grief is really tough.

Give yourself grace when needed, friends.

Heads 2-7!

Getting through this painting slump is SO HARD

Committing to making 100 Heads in the next 100 days. Here’s the first one, which I will re-create as the last one, too.

Fixed the pool shadow values - hoping to finish soon so I can submit as a prize for Summer Games Done Quick

I feel like I’m not obsessed with art anymore or at least right now, and everywhere I turn people talk about needing to be obsessed with it

Is this what burnout is?

Finally got “The Art of Dishonored 2” and my god am I gonna be studying the shit out of it

Please Oblivion let me join the girl gang in the “The Siren’s Deception” quest I’m begging

First self portrait since 2013. Learned a new skill and wanted to try it out! Had fun with this one, but according to Procreate, I spent ~24 hours on this painting. Woof.

Making a few mockups for a commission and they’re so funny to look at

Revisiting this piece after a full on YEAR of not working on it. Hoping to submit to SGDQ this year 🥰

The difference between the work you want to do and the level of skill you currently have makes me 🥲

Learned a new skill following a Sinix tutorial!

Excited to announce that I’m RETURNING to working on the Nintendo Pool Time painting! Hoping to finish and submit to Summer Games Done Quick this year 🥰

Closing commissions for now, but they’ll be back up sometime in the summer 🖤

Made a study of JC Leyendecker’s couple dancing of my D&D character (just Urbosa from BotW) and her love interest. I want to do a study of couple dancing with Alistair and my city elf from Dragon Age: Origins!

I would pay an appropriate amount of money for an official art book for South of Midnight

What’s your favorite 10 hour song track on YouTube? Mine’s a tie between Skyrim’s Far Horizons and LoZ: Twilight Princess’ Sacred Grove - both make fantastic art making soundtracks 🥰

Working on a big commission and I got to go to the book store today 🥰
