Guillaume Seignac was a french classical painter. When everyone was doing impressionism, he submitted Greek classical works. He made his fame in the Salon of the Venuses. In that art exposition, everyone , for some odd reason, submitted Venus paintings. His Venus was highly praised and it even won an award. It set his career for life. I think that is everything worth mentioning. I will now review Guillaume Seignac Cupid's paintings.  The first painting shows "Cupid and Psyche". Cupid is hugging his cute wife. Both are in the forest. Psyche's smiling face came out really cute. The figures have...

anime, dot hack gu, fanart, painting, swimsuit -

I was thinking of making a Dot Hack Gu fanart. After drawing a blank, I decided to do a swimsuit fanart. It just hit me that I have never seen them in swimsuits.

I used as reference this pinup Art Frahm painting. I...

The second drawing features only one flower. I started with...

I did a new Hollow knight poll. I had my fans pick from 4 horror movie classics. The winner of the poll was creature of the black lagoon. It took me a while to pick a Hollow knight character to play the creature. I ended up choosing the Hunter. He is from Greenpath. Greenpath has an acid lake. Like the creature, he likes to hunt. I figured that he would steal Emilitia. She was just sunbathing in Greenpath when the creature took a liking to her.  He took her before running away into the acid lake. He has Isma’s Tear...

Today, I wanted to review some of Nicolas Poussin's paintings about love. The first painting is about the romance between Rinaldo and Armida. Armida was an enemy sorceress. She had been sent by the Saracen to stop the movement of the Crusading Christians. As a assassin witch, Armida had managed put Rinaldo asleep. He was the general of the Crusaders. However, she fell in love with the Rinaldo. In this painting, she is admiring his beauty. Cupid is stopping her dagger from killing Rinaldo.    This next painting shows Echo and Narcissus. Narcissus is in the foreground. He has been...
