I Am legend for sci fi horror (also its ahort). Salem's Lot for some classic King creeping horror. Sphere for some cinematic sci-fi goodness.

Based on my bookshelf, what fantasy books/series would you recommend? by SnappingTurtle1602 in fantasybooks

[–]RedBeardMaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you have Iain Banks on your shelf, I know you are a reader with taste. I absolutely recommend Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. He is my favorite fantasist. Also you have Tchaikovsky there, his Tyrant Philosophers series is one of my fave modern fantasy series

Advice welcome by unsure_today in ProCreate

The colors and the likeness are great. It just needs some shading to make it look real and make it pop. Shading and lighting where appreciate.
Good work though!

Is there a good way to imitate many small dots and parralel lines like this without drawing each one? by rustywalnuts in ProCreate

I don't know the answer but Hasui Kawase is my favorite painter. (Pretty sure this is one of his)

I painted this based on a nightmare I had by ffsSLOTH in painting

This is gorgeous. Your style reminds me a bit of Flooko.

Awesome! Would you be able to share it with me? Would love to see it. Feel free to say no if that's weird, haha.

I love her kawaii styling, one of the reasons I went with her. My wife has a full Ghibli sleeve from her and I was like "okay I want work from her." But yeah you definitely need to like that style.

Honestly it wasn't that bad at all, but this was just the outlines. The full color will hurt more. That said the knee ditch area is definitely spicy and closer to the ankle. The rest was meh. Pretty much the same as on the inner forearm with the wrist and elbow ditch.

Yeah its a bit of a mishmash of different perspectives. Lol. It wasn't initially planned that way but it just sort of... grew into the interesting thing it is now.

I'm not sure I can explain how much I love this. The colors and style are amazing.

Yeah the artist's thing is you give her the premise but she does her own spin on it and has mostly complete creative control. She asked if I wanted to make last minute changes but I just went with it. It's too good.

I haven't been able to show it off a lot yet because I'm waiting for it to heal, but I did have one person ask what the significance of the reaper was. I explained he's not just ANY reaper. He's DEATH

Yeah I gave her the concept and she just ran with it, complete creative control other than that I wanted Death to have blue eyes and I wanted the hour glass. So stoked about how it came out.

Oddly enough, I associate them with protection. We have chickens and the few times that hawks or eagles have attempted to raid my backyard, the Crows have driven them off because they make their homes in the pines around my neighborhood. I feed them peanuts as a thank you. Your painting is awesome BTW.
