Ascension

by

Ascension – Working title, okay, the title, because I’m lazy. What’s it mean? It’s a representation of time, sin, and absolution. If one can visualize that all time streams, past (a burning of an innocent), present (an exotic dancer), and future (I haven’t related the mech, it just looks futuristic) exist in the same space simultaneously, this is my take on it. It’s really either an esoteric exercise or a shifting of my thoughts throughout the #creation process, as my moods influence me as the moon influences the tides. Originally, I wanted a create a silly scene, a witch on a stripper pole (I’m a dude, 🤷‍♂️). It then became like a quasi-religious thing against the evils perpetrated on innocents over the millennia. Then I lost the plot, but it looked cool. For some reason while I was working this I was listening to a couple Murakami songs on repeat, including современная жизнь (a lot), Честности нет, 364, & 0 Km – so there’s your process. #new #artwork in the #wtf school of #art

Solar Swim

by

Solar Swim. Yeah, not the greatest title but better than ‘untitled.’ It started out as a #woman swimming #underwater – then I thought “what if #water was #space ? So then there’s the relative freedom of #zerogravity and the constrictive nature of our bodies. #art #modern #digital #progressive & #new

Here’s a closeup.

Alix Takes a Lover

by

This has been in the works for a week or so, since I watched the show ‘The Last Czar.’ In the show and in #history rumors were rife that the #Empress #Alexandra had taken #Rasputin as a #lover. No one really knows if they were involved or just really really good friends. Certainly, they both knew of the precariousness of their positions should an #affair be found out. Anyway, I decided to put an artistic element to the possibility, for what is more beautiful than two souls trapped within a gilded cage finding l’amour? #digitalart #digital #art #render #historylovers (get it?) #romanov #imperial #czar #tsar

The Resurrection of Self-Doubt

by

The body lay buried for many years, sunk in a swamp of tears and anxiety. She didn’t know why she left the warmth and safety of her present to find the remains of the buried past, yet here she was. As she crouched down in the damp sadness of the woods and nervously reached out to the fetid water, she saw the glow of wicked familiarity intensify as the past reached out for her as well.

Homecoming

by

Homecoming. This digital creation is for those that have lost loved ones in war. There’s a poppy / death / sunset connection. I realized after working on this that the pose of the woman is similar to another piece of artwork, so I need to review my catalog before rendering things. I didn’t Instagram it because I would have lost half the portrait.

Watching the Sunset

by

Watching the #Sunset – adding another #digital #painting to the great Internet garbage patch, where the work all #artists who can’t get exposure go. Maybe it’s not that good, maybe it’s worth a breakthrough 10 likes. Anyway, it’s a woman with her #dragon but not that #woman or that dragon :). #art #new #digitalpainting #fantasyart #fantasy

Woman with Pearls

by

Woman with Pearls. #vermeer is my favorite #artist and #girl with a #pearl #earring is my favorite of his #artwork so I decided to update it for 21st century #america – I was hoping to get this #render done by 9, but didn’t count on my rig taking 4 hours to do it, so I missed the golden hour of posting. I’ll have to settle for 6 instead of 8 likes 🙂 #digitalart #digitalartist #new #beauty #portrait

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

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
