A friend asked me to create some fan art based on a video by Poets of the Fall, Daze is the song, the YouTube link is on my website (or below if you’re already here). So in the video the main guy is partying it up in jester form. I decided to make it from the view of a fan as they are going in to make the video.
Here is the YouTube link:
My time has been sucked up by other, more worldly needs lately, so here is another video of my artwork from around Spring. I created it in the bowels of the night while my insomnia had me staring at the ceiling. The music lends an Edward Scissorhands / dreamy feel to the composition. All the individual works are available on this site in various blog posts. As with all videos, some artwork may have been created prior to other but I’m doing these videos based on their order on my phone, some of which have been reposted or modified for light, etc. point is, don’t hold me to any timelines. If I ever become recognized / rise above the churn of much more talented artists on the net, I’m sure someone will catologue everything 🙂
I’m truly sorry I’ve not done anything in the last couple of days. I’m working through proposals at work (to pay for my art!) and skin cancer to boot, but last night at 3ish, I made this video of recent art (going back to October (ish). I’ll get creative again soon! I kind of want to do a full length video of all the artwork I’ve done, but it would be significantly longer than 2 minutes – more along the lines of an hour. Maybe over the holiday weekend.
I may be killing off the last of any artistic reputation I’ve built up with this, but it’s an oil, stencil telling of a secret, buried in the winter, coming to light in the spring. Inspired by Apple Crown Royal, now empty, and the song Electric Love, by Børns, on repeat. Nap time.
Sneaking this digital art doodle in late at night, when everyone is asleep. It’s truly a doodle. Theres oil, acrylic, watercolor, and stencils.
“Her reputation preceded her, judging by the gasps of the people on the way to the castle. She was synonymous with evil, and had adopted the nickname of the light bringer, Lucifer. There was irony in that it was the same as the weapon she used to dispatch justice on those who had wronged her as she made her way back to the root of the problem. As she crested the hill, the familiar ramparts greeted her, and she smiled, in her unsmiling way, a most wicked smile; for she was home.”
Some hot off the render digital art I ginned up over the last couple days (and a backstory). The castle you can barely see in her eyes, which were the focus of all of this. Actually, it was reflections therein I was working on.
I didn’t want today to go by without doing a doodle, so here you go. Technically mixed media in layers. Acrylic, water color, stencils, and a dash of magic. Better viewed on a bigger monitor, I can barely see the trees on my phone. But then, it’s a doodle, there’s more room for imperfections.
There’s a movie reference in this one. John Carpenter made one of the quintessential horror movies in 1982, the Thing, with Kurt ‘Call me Snake’ Russell. In 2011 a prequel was made, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (sigh, heart). She survived the movie but we don’t really know if she was infected (aka the thing) or not. The dog that runs out of the Norwegian camp of the 2011 film towards the American camp of the 1982 err sequel is definitely infected. So I was like, “what if she was the alien and met back up with the other aliens at camp?” So, at heart it’s a girl and a dog happily reunited.
For those that are, like, “what’s up with this dude and horror?” I’m working through a thing. It’s called 2020.
“Edward was thirty-eight when he met Asenath Waite. She was, I judge, about twenty-three at the time; and was taking a special course in mediaeval metaphysics at Miskatonic. The daughter of a friend of mine had met her before—in the Hall School at Kingsport—and had been inclined to shun her because of her odd reputation. She was dark, smallish, and very good-looking except for overprotuberant eyes; but something in her expression alienated extremely sensitive people. It was, however, largely her origin and conversation which caused average folk to avoid her.”
From “The Thing on the Doorstep” by H.P. Lovecraft.
I was listening to the story on Spotify and decided to do a rendition of her. Ia!! And all that rot.
Deep in the depths of the dark house a change it coming. She didn’t master it the first time, yet through practice she has gotten the conjugation of the elder god conjuration to work perfectly. Suddenly, a noise and she notices the viewer looking at her.
I’m working through some disappointment today. I reloaded my operation system recently and thought I had saved everything. To my horror, I realized, the location where the years of digital art creation files have been saved, was not offloaded (it was buried deep in the program structure), and so everything I’ve created, all these worlds are no longer living, no longer able to be viewed and modified. In effect, they have become memories, like photos, frozen in time.
But on a positive note, I’m really getting into Space music, like ambient soundscapes, Lauge, Stellardrone, Applefish, et al. It kind of helps with the creation process.
I was watching the 2012 version of Total Recall the other night and there’s a scene where Kate Beckinsale, *sigh*, slides out a window firing a weapon. Then I watched a Korean movie called 2009: Lost Memories which has a villain that dies all too early in the movie. This artwork is a combination of both of these influences, plus I wanted to see if I could successfully render someone going out a window firing a gun.
What’s it all mean, Basil? (Best Austin Powers voice) Well, maybe she’s an assassin, or a hero like in Die-Hard. I tried to capture anger, determination, a little fear (who wouldn’t going out a skyscraper the wrong way), and utmost confidence. Did I make it happen for you?
A rising #star in the court of #blackphillip aka #satan – I took inspiration from the movie the #Witch … again, not sure why it’s one of my favorites. Here a #woman rises #magically from the #forest floor to join in celebrations with a flock of #crows #art #digital #digitalartist
