I am getting more and more into working with acrylics on paper. I don’t know how I would feel if I work longer, but I really dig them for this quick works. And the surface of the paper when the paint dries is just lovely. Am I falling in love? This flirt stage has been mesmerizing

Today’s sketchbook page. I am a big fan of the feeling of acrylic paint on paper. I think my next sketchbook will be just that. Acrylic Knights.

When I was a kid, maybe 4-5 years old, we visited my grandma’s village. My father’s uncle was showing us around but after walking a couple of hours I got really tired and was doing my best tantrums. My great uncle put me on his donkey, petted him, and told him to bring me home.

And the donkey did. I was so scared to get off myself. A neighbor got me off, and then the donkey turned back and went back to the uncle. It was a long journey. At least for a 4 y.o. city boy. Donkeys are fascinating. This one is watercolor on moleskin

I the flashlight to cast ultra-crisp shadows like Doom 3, built with modern tech but without its flaws: no multiple render passes, no temporal blurring, no smearing-and more importantly: optimized to run on a potato. Took me a couple days, but I got it! #indiegamedev #solodev #gamedev #raylib

🌿The Wellspring Keeper 🌿 This is a part of a big fantasy series I'm starting - Anima Mundi ✨ It's gonna travel through the realms of all four elements, exploring the archetypes of Queen/Power, Mother/Nurture & Seer/Wisdom. #art #fantasy #mermaid

Out for monsters 16”x20” Oil on board When we met, he said “I’d love to go back to farming, but the world is full of monsters, and people are afraid.”

I started this painting in a different world, where the crises were personal. Now we live in a world of uncertainty. We need heroes to rise up and bring back order, sanity, and love. Everybody can love their neighbor, but reach deep within your heart and find the courage to love the stranger.

I always loved this drawing by Frazetta, this painting of mine is based on. Eventually I just wanted to channel some of his energy into my life so I painted my version on a board.

I saw the reference for this online and the shirt and the book piqued my interest right away. As I was working on it, the stains on his coat became an extra joy to paint. Watercolor.

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!
