20, 22 and 23 from the art ask meme? 😁

Questions from here

22. what inspires you

Sometimes it can be hard to pin where an idea comes from, but the majority of the time it's a line or two from a song that sticks out to me. There are some lines that have been with me for a long time begging for something, and it might take forever to figure out a way to do it, and then there are times I'll be listening to a song and something pops up out of nowhere.

Style-wise it's all over the place, with a particular appreciation for art nouveau and whatever it is that Elicia Donze has going on in their realism

23. what’s something you hope people notice when looking at your art

I've always really liked doing details, and I like if they get noticed. Also, for anything realism I will never get tired of the "I thought it was a photo" comments

20. a piece from this year that you’re really proud of

This kind of depends a little on if we're looking at calendar year or rolling year, because I've only really done two things so far this year.

If we're talking calendar year, probably the thing I just finished for February that's a redo of an old nightmare:

If we're talking rolling year, it's a tie between this redo of a portrait of my oldest OC and this amazingly quick animation of Lea from The Northern Passage:

Proud of the nightmare one because there's not a lot to choose from and I'm still pleased with the technical progress it has vs. the original. Proud of the portrait of Akos because it's one of the very rare things that I still look at and don't see much I want to improve on. Proud of the Lea because holy shit it only took me two hours AND it turned out that good? WHAT happened and how do I do that again?
