I made this piece about a year ago... Still love it
Here's another Bob Ross Master Copy of his piece, "Southwest Serenity" but I added one thing to the painting for giggles to see how it would fit in.
Can you guess what it is?
I was inspired by the "recent" League of Legends music video.
Seriously give it a listen if you haven't: Here
But I couldn't help but think of Ephraim when I was listening to this song. It's been ages since I've drawn him. It felt good coming back to a character I loved and still love so much.
For the final project in my class, my students get to pick a video from the ultimate Bob Ross Playlist which has all seasons of the Joy of Painting.
I love doing this project with my students because I give myself the same amount of time as they do and they can see me struggle along with them.
The video I chose was back in Season 21 Episode 10 called: Blue Winter
I was pretty happy with how this came out. Let me tell you, painting digitally is extremely hard but I'm enjoying the struggles and being pushed out of my comfort zone.
Took part in a color palette art challenge back in 2023 in a Discord server I am part of and I really just got to relax and have fun.
I'm trying my hardest to work on my backgrounds, understand color, and study its potential.
You see flickers of memories before your eyes as you finally reach the place that has haunted you in your nightmares.
Nash's life before he became a god was stressful beyond belief, but he was able to grow and adapt to what was thrown at him. Instead of rejecting who he was, and denying his birthright, he accepted it and used his power to protect others. This gave him a new perspective on fate/destiny. It wasn't that he was chosen to fulfill prophecy, but he was the piece in the puzzle that fit.
And he made his peace with that.
Back in 2020 I drew this for @proxis-shattered-expectations of our characters interacting.
While I was proud of it back then, I know I could draw it a lot better now...so that's what I did!
You can see the chemistry between Siva and James a lot better now. ^w^
James is mine
Siva belongs to @proxis-shattered-expectations
Made this art for my buddy on Discord. This feral mother-fucker on the left is Peter. He's a tortured prisoner of war who became a werewolf from experiments. And then my handsome man on the right, Conner, he's just happy to be there and cause mayhem.
I'm doing my best to work more on my backgrounds for my art and I'm having a lot of fun.
Been working on a character design for a little bit now... you can see when I finally started understanding his hair more haha!
So this is Conner. A genetically modified super soldier during civil war times. What runs in his veins is something ancient, something evil. A power that shouldn't have been harnessed by humanity. This dark magic grants him incredible strength and physical prowess. The downside is that he hears what almost could be described as the voices of the damned. They whisper to him, they crave violence. They desire blood. Which is something Conner can definitely grant.
Conner is not a good person. He is not a bad person either. He's a soldier doing what needs to be done.
But he really enjoyed killing.
Gilgaul: Wielder of Life and Death
This was probably my biggest project of the year so far. I started this puppy way back in late December and just finished it about a week ago.
Nash, ended up making the ultimate sacrifice for those he loved and removed the physical manifestations of life and death from sleeping gods. However, doing this cost him his life in the process. But due to this act of heroism, he ascended to the realm of gods and became the new possessor of life and death.
New slate, new blog, hello world!!
Thought I'd start with a redraw of a character I made back in 2010.
I don't remember much about Aiden's story, other than his name...but I couldn't help but feel 11-year-old me jumping for joy. Looking back, this is how I imagined him all those years ago, and seeing him now...
Feels pretty nostalgic
