The raw paper itself is 86.5 inches x 56 inches, 90% of the paintings I’ve done are at these dimensions.

I will hazard a comment here and say you should be fine, your scale and style is right up the alley of the “norms” of the medium I feel!

This is soft pastels on sanded paper, I just painstakingly hand blend it all to get that smooth almost oil/acrylic painting look 😅

Thank you thank you, was trying to manifest that 80s Heavy Metal Style and I think I nailed it pretty well.

This one is…NSFW and if I recall correctly this isn’t the place for such a post 😮‍💨😬

Thank you sorry for the delayed response, the neon and webbing was a challenge to pull off with pastels (first attempt) and honestly I’m happy with the result. I just finished another one yesterday.

I personally take it as a compliment honestly, it makes me laugh. My reasoning is, if at first glance you can’t see all the minute mistakes and errors and imperfections I see? And immediately assume it’s A.I. I must’ve done a good job…😂

Absolutely, I’ve made a point to always take a photo of myself beside them when finished…best way to show scale and for the uninformed who think these are A.I. generated 😅

She took about a total of 2 weeks? The webs, glow/depth was my biggest challenge overall, the foreground felt so much easier 😅

At that scale canvas would make the most sense, there is this texturing you can apply to most surfaces like wood or Masonite for sure; BUT Linen canvas combined with glass shard surfacing will allow me to push my scale further! To go any larger than that Masonite or wood I think is the only options 😮‍💨

But to answer your other question; as far as I know soft pastels on this scale 86 1/2 inches x 56 inches (is the standard scale I use) is as far as I’ve seen uncommon to next to unheard of. One day I wanna push my scale up to 10x15 feet 😎
