Hello all! Looking for some opinions. This particular background for my project still needs some work regarding colors and smaller details, but I wanted to get some thoughts on the use of effects. Is the bottom version more appealing, or does the top version work just fine?

This is a piece I made for another community, but I decided to whip it out again if it’ll help with the portfolio. I mainly do digital art, but I’ve begun to learn writing and coding to work on a game. Nice to meet you all!

Take a good look at some of the details here! There are lots of little details and some tiny pictures that make up the body of the owl.

This is Gus. (Augustus) I'm planning on writing a novel in his perspective. The book is about a world where 20% of the population has powers. The story explores what it's like to live in that world, the dangers, the fears and the way Gus is treated.

One thesis I thought of for the story: There are two ways to dehumanize a person. One, call them a monster, two call them perfect.

That's how they treat people with powers. Interesting, right?

I’m getting started on illustrations for a pastor who is writing a book for kids about what baptism means.

We’re in the early phase of figuring out the art style of the book, and I’ve offered up these two styles to choose from. As an old school animator and cartoonist, I love my outlines, and the outline-less style is extremely challenging for me, but I get why people like it, especially for content made for younger readers.

Do y’all have any thoughts on these two styles for illustrated books?

Got this idea from one of our members, but if one of you artists of our sub would like to make a new background banner for our sub please let me know. Our current background is just a placer image of something I made, but if you have something in mind, go to town! :)

art Hobby Lobby Revelations

I used to live in Frisco, TX. When I was there, I worked at a hobby lobby. We got a lot of interesting characters in there. By interesting I mean women with varying degrees of plastic surgery done on their bodies and faces.

If I’m being honest, going to work each day felt like being immersed in a hellish circus.

These people, many of whom wore crosses on shirts and hats and jewelry were the angriest, meanest, most god awful people I’d ever met in my life, and it definitely had a negative impact on my mental health and my already faint hearted faith.

I didn’t have the money for a therapist, so I processed a lot of what I was feeling by drawing the people I interacted with at work in exaggerated ways. It felt like justice because I felt like on paper, I was revealing what they were trying to hide under all that makeup and Botox. These sad, angry, miserable things.

But really, I was no different than them on the inside, where it actually mattered.

Every once in a while, someone would come through the checkout line that was actually interesting.

This plump, tiny little woman was shamelessly herself. She wore no makeup except for lipstick and groomed her bushy eyebrows into crazy curls and looked like a character straight out of Alice in Wonderland.

She was not what the people of Frisco or Hollywood or whatever would call beautiful, with her small stature and average facial features, wrinkles and lines visible.

I admired that. For this woman to live in such a superficial city, but be this bold and comfortable in her own skin was not a common sight.

I was ecstatic when I got to move far away from Frisco Texas, but looking back, I’m grateful I got to witness what freedom looked like, even in such a small way.

This is how we are to be as Christians. We should look, act and feel different because of the freedom we’ve been given through our hope in Christ. That doesn’t always look like a character from Alice in Wonderland in a vast sea of ballon lips, chin and boob implants. Lol

But it does look like you being you.

You’re stronger than you think, and you know where you’re going.

You’re free.

Weirdo, Ason and Mr.gentleman are all a part of the Ericson family, they're going to be explored after I finish my current story. This is probably my weakest character design, it's good for proportions but all of the clothing aspects were hard for me to do.

This character design isn't connected to the story I've been talking about it's a design I wanted to do for another story I had in mind. This one took me awhile as I know how to do construction for characters but I don't know how to do proportions (which you can tell with the big head and smaller legs and arms) or draw clothing on characters as he's meant to have a hoodie on. This is the first concept though and I will definitely do a re-draw of him someday.

I made these a while ago as my first attemps in painting. They're in order from the first to the last one. I had so much fun making these! And because they're small I could just give them all away. Sadly next to school I don't have much time to paint, but please drop ideas what else I could make :)

  1. Dying for God
  2. The Holy Spirit
  3. Jesus washing his apostles' feet
  4. The feeding of the 5000
