Silent Agony

by

Men generally take the majority of credit for an #abusiverelationship but there is a silent group of men who are #survivors of not necessarily physical, but rather #mentally and #emotionally #abusive #relationships – this #artwork is a representation of what it’s like for these men. So, assuming you’re over the bad boy phase, if you meet a nice guy who is super-skittish about being involved with you, odds are it was because he’s met a master of these #manipulation skills in the past. Patience, determination, and love can overcome though. #digitalart #digital #art #psychology

Live Deliciously?

by

A reoccurring theme in my #artwork is temptation. This is a combination of a pose I saw in passing and one of my favorite movies, the #witch so I #created a take on the #temptation by #blackphillip – post rendering it was pixelated due to the the #lowlight and it was #dark so I had to boost it using the phone. Hopefully it doesn’t take anything away, Phil was supposed to be barely visible. Anywho, #art #digital #portrait #good v #evil

Fresh Meat

by

They had days to go in their 15-month tour of duty on planet K in the Sanh system, a twin sun, jungle-world. They were there, ostensibly helping the natives fight the Slugs, a derisive name for an invasive, space-faring species from beyond the rim. The populated worlds had been told the fight was winnable, but as the replacement troops touched down, those that had fought daily in the tropical hell mused that the new, if not pretty, camouflage paint jobs wouldn’t help them against a very determined enemy.

I’ve been working on this #artwork for a day or three. Lots of problems with lighting, noise, etc. I drew inspiration from the 10 hours of #Vietnam documentaries I watched over Memorial Day weekend. #history tends to repeat itself, because we don’t learn from our mistakes, so why not have a similar scenario play out on a #scifi #exoplanet in the #future ? #digitalart #render #painting #digital #war

The Scream 1983

by

Today’s #doodle takes #edvardmunch ‘s The Scream and updates it to 1983. Why that year? It was the height of the Cold War and the closest the world came to #nuclear war with #Russia – but for the heroic actions of one man, Stanislav Petrov, who should be in everyone’s working memory. On 26 September 1983, the nuclear early-warning system of the #USSR reported the launch of multiple intercontinental #ballistic #missiles from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were felt to be false alarms by Stan Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. He risked his life by not reporting these errors to his superiors, and died in obscurity (but not forgotten). He never got a Hero of the Soviet Union medal, though he was much more than that. Okay, #history aside, the #scream always looked like some form of fiery #nightmare to me so I played with that thought. The people in the background are a take on 80’s #apocalyptic cinema, and it took some work to get the mushroom cloud to look more authentic; there’s a literal sun inside there. #art #digital #digitalartist

Callisto’s Secrets

by

The second largest #moon of #jupiter and the third largest moon in the solar system, #callisto is an ancient celestial body. She may contain at least two oceans under her surface. Tidally locked to her #jovian parent, seen in the background (an actual #nasa photograph), Callisto harbors one of the best chances for ancient life. This #artwork captures the moment in the next century that mankind discovers the secrets she harbors. #art #digitalartist #new #dailydoodle #dogs in #space

Attila’s End

by

In the early spring of 453 AD, Attila, ruler of the #Huns was celebrating his latest marriage to the #gothic princess #Ildiko when he had a nosebleed and choked to death on his own blood. He may have had an esophageal rupture, an aneurism, or a genetic condition where a blood vessel weakens over time and eventually ruptures (I learned that from watching Dr. G: Medical Examiner – thanks!). Dr. Garavaglia often says she sees preventable deaths in the morgue due to drinking, and this death happened while drinking.. ergo… Who knows, had he survived, Europe would look a lot different today. Anywho, it was an ignoble end for a man who nearly conquered Rome, but fitting in an ironic sense for someone who thrived on bloodshed. This #artwork shows the moment #Attila’s body bids him adieu and checks out of hotel Mortal Coil. I went for a pseudo-classic #digital #painting totally inspired by drawings of the deathbed scene found while googling him for something totally unrelated. I was intrigued and wanted to put it in a more photo-realistic context. #art #digitalartist #new #history is fun!

Mother of Civilization

by

Around 12,000 years ago, while the men were out hunting dwindling big game, a #woman noticed that seeds from wild gatherings dumped on a trash pile began to grow. She took these seeds, planted & tended them, and soon had enough food to more than meet the tribes needs. This pivotal moment for #mankind allowed us to settle down, grow in population, create a #society and do all the glitzier things that followed. Everything from the Roman Coliseum to the Voyager spacecraft, now in interstellar space, would not have been possible without this un-named woman, who, by chance, discovered #farming – #art #digitalart #digitalartist #new #sunset #wheat #history #civilization

Untitled Egypt-like Thème

by

I don’t have a title for this, it’s simply an #egytian like theme involving a #beautiful #pharoah like ruler, maybe a candid shot of #Nefertiti if one stretches it and forgets all the fashion, culture, and standard icons of ancient Egypt (it’s #farby ). Maybe it can be representative of an Egyptian influenced outer state such as somewhere near Somalia or something? As I said before, I create the first weird thing that pops into mind when I put in the time. #art #artwork #digital #digitalartist #new #illustration #render #fantasyart

The Beholder

by

The Beholder. First thing that popped into my mind when I sat down to #create is really a continuation of yesterday’s #art in #miniature – here we have a twist on the saying #beauty is in the #eye of the #beholder – the beholder being #nano #bots – it’s also because one of the coolest things one can #artistically produce is the #iris – a world unto itself. I guess the scene is #horror at first glance, unless you take into account the #ants may just be admiring nature’s wonders as we humans do a placid lake or landscape. #digitalart #digitalartist #new #humanscape #closeup

La Conquistadora

by

Men have often tried to conquer her, through the centuries risking war and #treasure to find her #eldorado , but Sierra Madre rarely gives her riches to these #conquistadores , as they often look in the wrong places. It leaves one wondering, who is really in control?

So I wasn’t going to publish this, I’ve been sitting on it for a couple days, but I figured, if ones #art isn’t offending someone, it’s not true #artwork – it’s definitely not serious, and I was laughing while creating it. I’ve said before I try to create the first thing that comes to mind, and my mind is out there like Pluto. #digitalart #digitalartist #new #cheeky #tongueincheek

Crone’s Day Off

by

I was not really inspired again so I figured, what do evil #witches do on their day off? After all, they can’t be evil all the time, right? Taking inspiration from the end sequence of the the movie ‘The VVitch’, where they’re all flying around at night, only this time it’s during the day, because, as Brandon Lee said, “it can’t rain all the time.” The lady is happy get away from #blackphillip for a bit to greet the #birds of the #forest and get some #sun – #artwork #digitalart #digitalartist #new
