If it's really true that as within, so without, then somewhere far out there must be a reflection of my melancholy, because my life has truly been a sad one. My artsy spacey visual I made some years ago, "Teardrop nebula".

Cliffside Sunset video progression

I have a Peertube video account here on the fediverse, that you can follow from Mastodon:

I nearly always record my process as a time lapse these days, and greatly enjoy editing them with music and, more recently, annotations. Please consider giving me a follow, if you enjoy this sort of thing!

Here’s Cliffside Sunset

I envisioned dragonite flying through the sky while little pokemon sit on the cliff side watching.

One of my goals for this year is to submit an entry into the Pokémon card art challenge. Last year was the first time I became aware of such a thing and immediately felt the pull. My lack of background ability however kept me from this goal, hence the studies. I’m hoping to start adding characters into scenery once I feel I have a better understanding myself without guidance.

I’ll upload the progress video for this later as well

Heres to goals!

I figured a quick video would be neat!

I’ve rarely had the opportunity to show off how the process goes and thouht now is the time! This was so much fun to do that I jumped right into the second one. I’ve already finished that as well and hope to whip out a few more while the hyper focus is going .

Especially with the newest addition, I definitely have to start adding pokemon into them, or at least figuring out HOW to add characters with backgrounds. After 13 years out of school and I’m still learning colour theory and most likely will for the rest of my life. Its fun though, I enjoy the challenge.

The next one will be a beautiful sunset from a cliff overlooking a river. Really, I never thought I could pull these off so I’m thrilled.

I decided to attempt a background study as its always been a weak point for me. The first image is my attempt on my own, without instruction/knowledge in painting backgrounds. The second image is after watching a video and it turning out the way the first was perceived

I love seeing my before and afters. For some odd reason I attempt to do something completely on my own first. That way when I do educate/inform myself I’m always surprised by just how much better things are. Without my first attempt, the second instructed one wouldn’t have been so easy to follow or do so I will always appreciate my odd need for self inflicted struggle and stress.

I’ve already another one started and am super excited to throw some Pokémon into these. Stay tuned for more nicer (hopefully) backgrounds!
