Astarion is my favorite character from BG3 for so many reasons, but mainly for the fact that he's a "comfort character." This game has been a blessing creatively, emotionally, and mentally.

Slightly cropped photo of a study I'm doing for a piece called "The Sentry" The Sentry is a skeleton being with wings and living organisms growing out of it. It is a being that watches over the souls of the world to grant them passage into the afterlife. As such, this being is a guardian between the world of the living and that of the departed, and so it is life and death embodied in one. Specifically, it is a child skeleton, for children tend to see things with more purity of heart. #thesentry #theguardian #fineart #oilpainting #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #surrealism #surrealart #surrealartist #surrealist #newcontemporaryart #contemporarysurrealism #darkart #darkartists #afterlife #departed #hibiscus #hummingbirds #fungi #sunset #clouds #parrotwings #sanpedrito #departed #lowbrowart #lowbrow https://www.instagram.com/p/CFclyTNHz48/?igshid=1hpp9rzgd7t69

Y'all. This is my most complex drawing in my entire art career... I've come close.. But never as detailed as this. It was a lot of work, a lot of pain for my hand, but a lot of fun, too. "Keep Your Secrets" Approximately 11"x13" Graphite on acid free fine art paper. I used a mix of pencils for this: mechanical HB pencils, Blackwing Matte, Blackwing 602, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 8B, and 9B. #fineart #graphitework #graphite #portraits #portraiture #crows #ravens #darkart #darkartists #darkartwork #ethereal #birdwings #anatomicalheart #figuredrawing #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #surrealart https://www.instagram.com/p/CE64TzunH_4/?igshid=1pyif6xhm2yn7

Hi Hello do you remember this piece? This is the second go at it, but this composition has been modified from the first one and will only be in grisaille. I rarely do what I call "modified reproductions" of my work, but when I do it's because: 1. You are a collector dear to me, and I deeply value your support. 2. I learned a lot the first time, so I'll learn more again, and ALL my art will improve. 3. It was a fun piece. It could be any of these three or all of them. #fineart #oilpainting #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #surrealism #surrealart #surrealartist #surrealist #newcontemporaryart #contemporarysurrealism #darkart #darkartists #conjoinedskull #conjoinedhummingbird #hibiscus #grisaille #darkartworks #fungi #conjoinedcreatures #spine #birdwings https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIEfxaHyZV/?igshid=1q825hkdvc3oi

I just realized I never posted the completed picture of this piece. The color scheme of the octoskull creature is based off a poison dart frog. I love their vivid warning colors.

More progress on my piece for La Bodega Gallery's "Full Moon" show. 🙂 This seems to be a really popular piece. I shared some progress shots, and it was very well received. If you'd like a piece similar to this or anything with a moon, please DM me. I am currently open for commissions until the rest of the year. 🙂 #oilpainting #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #surrealism #surrealart #surrealartist #surrealist #newcontemporaryart #contemporarysurrealism #skullart #skullartwork #skullpainting #skull #anatomicalskull #thirdeye #thirdeyeskull #moonskull #lunamoth #fullmoon #labodegagallery #datura #brugmansia #nightphlox https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C8KmSny4g/?igshid=1erzsrmunzb64

Here is a new hyperlapse video for you. This is a yellow breasted chat. It's dead. And the ants ate all of its face off.... Unfortunately it flew into a glass window and perished. I photographed it for painting purposes. This piece is for the @darkartemporium for their upcoming show Tiny Terrors 2: The New Batch. I posted a live video on my Facebook page, Tania Pomales Art, of me working on this yesterday. You should check it out :) #darkartemporium #californiagalleries #yellowbreastedchat #deadbirdpaintings #darkart #macabreart #fineart #oilpainting #contemporaryartist #darkartist #wipvideo #wipvid #hyperlapse #paintingtimelapse #timelapseart #deadthings #tinyterrorstwo #dae https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqbzdoH0Sj/?igshid=14mpfe7sokuip
