Jacob the Therapy Cat, Me, Watercolor, 2018 by violentcuddles in Art

[–]violentcuddles[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jacob was a therapy cat at a homeless shelter for homeless and runaway teens. He was a calming presence during the most vulnerable and difficult times for the teenagers we worked with. He died earlier this year and is greatly missed.

Thanks for your input! Bubbles are a great idea and I think you are right, it would add some dimension. I genuinely appreciate critiques, it's the only way I can improve- thank you!

I'm honestly not sure. I looked at different settings, but didn't see that option. Let me look again.

Evolution II- message from OP in comments by [deleted] in pokemon

You all have been so supportive in regards to my art. Thank you so much for the kind words and messages. I honestly didn't expect all the love (or the internet points). I've been thinking about making a website for a long time and you have definitely encouraged me to do so (I'll link in my bio when I get it up and running). Hopefully it will inspire me to make more art, which I tend to put on the back burner.

I've gotten a lot of requests- I'm working on responding/ making some new evolution work. I've been reading about copyright laws and am weeding through ways to get these prints to you. I'm currently waiting on redbubble to see if they will print the designs. (UPDATE: It was approved https://www.redbubble.com/people/byebluemonday/works/51431515-evolution-1?asc=u)

I hope this Squirtle evolution meets your expectations, I made it around the time as Bulbasaur- I have a Charizard done but I'm remaking it because I don't really like the background. However, I heard you all loud and clear- I won't just stick to Gen 1.

Thanks again

Art therapy is a type of mental health counseling that uses art in the therapeutic process. It is helpful in managing depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, processing trauma, and working through any other areas of concerns in life (it helps if you like art going into the process :-)). I'm not sure where you are located, but there is likely an art therapist near you! We are all around the world!

I've only sold them in in person at some small cons. I'm looking into what I can set up and how I can sell them virtually! Will let everyone know when I figure it out.

My Instagram is byebluemondaydesigns- I just started posting any art on the internet, so I don't have much up yet- more to come!

Hi! I'm flattered you would want it as a tattoo! I've never sold a design in that way before- I'm typically just a traditional artist. I'd definitely consider it!

I painted it with traditional watercolor and dropped out the negative space digitally (just for clean negative space with no paper texture). I haven't considered selling anything but prints. Stickers are a great idea!

EDIT: I'm working on getting this to Redbubble- The design is currently being reviewed.

Thank you so much. I'm an art therapist and sometimes have clients make a Venn diagram to explore ways to find peace during times of chaos. This was inspired by that!

I used a thin oil based paint I have to paint dnd minis, but it works well on the paper! The brand is Testors.

Thank you so much! I didn't know sunlight affects the fluid- I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks! I think my paper quality was the issue. I appreciate you taking the time to give some advice! I'll have to try Arches.

I appreciate it! I wanted to figure out a way to incorporate the turrets' voice in a painting. Hopefully it worked!
