digital painting, ~18 hours - drawing video and details under the cut
this theoretically is a companion to my just another existential crisis in the fridge, but that painting was partially an exercise in doing less realistic and faster painting which.... i failed to do this time 🥴
saw this picture here and i really tried to track down the original source but got nowhere, it's all over the internet. if you know the original poster, please let me know so i can link <3
i had a really hard time with the face on this cat for some reason. couldn't capture that scowly expression. one of my cats is like, a darker version of this cat and makes that face at me a lot. i wanted to do it justice! but as paul hollywood would say about tough shortcrust pastry, i think this is overworked. c'est la vie. once i start using the smudge brush.....
Today we have another great collab with @aylopop! The theme is sci-fi weird west. Aylo wrote the following story! “In the heart of a scorching desert lies an unlikely sight. A dusty old bunker, seemingly abandoned, is actually a hub of technological advancements and wacky experiments. Rusting metal doors give way to a futuristic interior, complete with high-tech systems and gadgets. Will you dare to step inside and uncover the secrets of this desert bunker?” - - Odds by @aylopop Evens by @alvia.art - - #desertart #aiartcommunity #aiartist #aiartist #aiartfamily2023 #aiartfamily #genart #generatedart #midjourney #midjourneyart #midjourneyai #midjourneyartwork #nijijourney #nijijourneyartwork #weirdart #catsart #digitalart #mjv4 (at Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoHzcrgO0sX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
this picture has been reposted so many places, i have no idea where it came from - but if you happen to know, i'd love to include credits :) in an effort to make my art less straight recreations every time, i'm trying to do stuff without backgrounds. i think it was a good fit for these kitties. also trying desperately not to overwork it
